<div class="gmail_quote">Hi Everybody,<div><br></div><div>I've had a few people call with questions about our Q and A about the inaugural season of FPAC West Summer 2011, so I thought I'd provide some answers to everyone...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>The auditions are a few days before the Q and A, so will there be more auditions after the meeting on March 22?</b></div>
<div>Yes, you can audition that very night after the meeting, or at various later dates that will be announced.</div><div><br></div><div><b>What if I can't make the Q and A meeting but want to find out more?</b></div>
<div>You can watch the informational video on YouTube, and call me at 216-496-6087 any time to set up a private meeting.</div><div><br></div><div><b>How does it work with the hours of the training and the production of Seussical?</b></div>
<div>There are two distinct sessions of Professional Training - June 20 - July 8, and July 11 - 29; Monday - Friday, 10am - 4:30pm. </div><div><br></div><div>The production of Seussical is separate and doesn't line up with the training sessions. It rehearses weekdays late afternoon / early evening and some weekend days. This setup is similar to what they would experience if they were in a play at their school and rehearsed after school. The reason for this setup is so that the result oriented nature of the production is a separate entity from the training, which is process oriented.</div>
