TECHNICAL REHEARSALS.
Groups will be given a two - hour rehearsal period prior to the week of performance. The rehearsals will be held at times to be decided upon depending on where you reside.
Groups may give 2 preferences (in order of priority) so that a technical roster can be created. Although every consideration will be given to first preference, this cannot be guaranteed. Groups travelling from a far will be given preference for late weekday slots/ Saturdays. Please note that the rehearsal period is determined by number of Festival Entries and can be adjusted if necessary. Entrants will be informed of this in good time
FESTIVAL RUNNING ORDER
Order of the entries for each individual night will be determined by the Festival Committee. However the entertainment merit (balancing drama, comedy, musical, or social entries) will be taken into consideration. Groups travelling long distances to the venue will be given every consideration. Rules covering Entrants to our Festival stipulate that all participants must report to the Stage manager one hour BEFORE THE FESTIVAL COMMENCES
FOYER DISPLAY
There will be an Award for “Best Foyer Display”. Participating groups will be given space in the foyer. Originality and imagination can be used to the fullest extent in an attempt to convince patrons that “They are the best in South Africa”.
