RISLEY REHEARSALS

'Tuesday Night is Risley Night!'

Rehearsals are held every week at St John's Hall, Bourne Hill, Palmers Green - just up from the crossroads with Green Lanes (and not far from St Monica's Hall - the old 'Intimate Theatre')

Rehearsals are from 7.45 - 10pm on Tuesdays and 8pm - 10pm on Thursdays - mainly for principals until nearer production time, when all members of the company are needed on both evenings.

Two Sunday rehearsals are held for each show at St John's Hall from 2 - 6pm. We move to the Theatre for the technical and dress rehearsals on Sunday and Monday of show week.

Early rehearsals concentrate on learning chorus music (& preparing audition music). Once the show is cast and music learnt, the director and choreographer can get to work!

Some of our members find rehearsals a ‘drag’!

Others just can’t stop rehearsing – even during show week!
