Winter/Spring PROGRAMS in ALPHARETTA / JOHNS CREEK
~ Rehearsals will be held at Union Hill Church, 4250 McGinnis Ferry Rd, Alpharetta 30005 ~
IN-PERSON PROGRAMS ~ safety guidelines for Covid-19 (as of October 2020)
Production Rehearsals will be held outdoors as much as possible, or in the large fellowship hall at UHC. Cast sizes are limited to ensure lots of individual attention and physical distancing.
**"Little Mermaid" can be rehearsed or performed virtually, in case we are required to shelter in place again, although that is not our goal. The rehearsal schedules will be followed whether in-person, or with online rehearsals. Safety measures for in-person programs based on current guidelines include physical distancing, temperature checks, frequent hand sanitation, and face coverings during transition times when students cannot be distanced. Face Shields will be provided for any performer who wants one. **
Performance details will be determined closer to the show dates in spring 2021 as we keep an eye on any current guidelines. No matter what, "The Little Mermaid" will be performed and the kids will have an awesome theatre experience!
