T2, Week 7
2026 MCS Musical: MIDNIGHT
We are excited to have reached our milestone of putting all the Act One pieces together to see how our production is progressing. This important Act One rehearsal will take place on Friday 12th June, 3:15pm - 5:30pm.
We ask that each student brings their afternoon tea as well as a quiet activity (e.g. a book, some colouring, a quiet card game) to occupy themselves during the rehearsal as there will be times they will not be involved in what is occurring on stage.
As we have a large number of students attending this rehearsal, and it will be dark when we conclude, all students are to be picked up from the Lighthouse (MPC).
Who is required?
All Act One Leads and Ensembles.
Act One Ensembles include:
Townspeople
YOLO
Kings Crew
Castle Staff
Ballerina Tuesday
Ballerina Wednesday
Wednesday Lunch Animals.
Who is NOT required?
Students that are ONLY in Act Two Ensembles: Teddy’s, Best Dressed and Ballroom.
Thank you for your flexibility as we work towards our production.
