During this time we will be teaching the various combinations we will be using during the audition process. The class will consist of a strength and stretch building warmup followed by a combination. Each class will be approximately 2 to 2.5 hours in length. Attendance – though encouraged – is not mandatory for auditions.

Synopsis: The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year – the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one, they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
