In general, CPT productions rehearsal 4-5 weekday evenings (6p-10p) and 1 weekend afternoon for 4 – 5 weeks prior to opening. This season, all full productions will have one weekend of previews (Thurs-Sat), return to rehearsal the following week and open on that Friday. In addition to rehearsals, CPT stage managers schedule and run weekly production meetings.
