Academy performers will rehearse 5 days a week from 5-10 p.m. with the creative team and will work in masterclasses with Broadway performer Q Smith. Academy technicians will work with the design and production teams in the scene shop, the costume shop, on stage management, lighting, sound, and props crews.
