Typically, outside of technical and performance calls, all meetings involving the student crew are scheduled between 1-5:30pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The director may choose their play selection, with at least one required to be written by a Canadian playwright, and with a suggestion to choose plays across a variety of genre and style. The format of the production [face-to-face, online, or a hybrid] will be finalized by the start of term, in response to immediate COVID-related safety protocols.
