Attendance

Theatre-making is a team effort. Your presence impacts not just you, but your scene partners and the rest of the group. We expect actors who commit to an ensemble will make rehearsal a priority. If you anticipate you will miss 1 or more rehearsals, please take a break this semester to make space for someone else. 

What happens in rehearsal?

A.B.L.E. sessions are 90 minutes. Activities vary every week, but every rehearsal follows the same basic format, so you’ll know what to expect. You will receive a social story with more details before your session. 

Health & Safety

We are an ensemble and have to support each other. One easy way to show support for our community members who are immunocompromised or high risk is to wear a mask. A.B.L.E. recommends masks at all in-person sessions to help care for the most vulnerable among us.
