Choreography rehearsals would begin in August in Twinsburg Ohio. Choreographers must be extremely patient and kind, and have the ability to work with a very large mostly amateur cast of all ages. Child to adult. The choreographer should also be somewhat tech savvy, as we do use private videos for teaching. Videos of previous choreography you have done are preferred to paper materials.

Rehearsals for choreography generally take place in the evenings from 6:00 PM onward Monday through Friday. There may be a few Saturday rehearsals before tech week. We are flexible with schedules.
