Because of construction at Harper College, both our rehearsals AND performances will take place at First United Methodist Church of Arlington Heights- 1903 E. Euclid Ave.

On our first day of rehearsal we will hold auditions. Each actor will have a role no matter what, but auditions are an opportunity for the actors to learn about the audition process and for the directors to get to know the them better. Audition packets will be emailed about a week before rehearsal begins.

Payment can be made through PayPal or by credit card.  We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, and DISCOVER.

Payment plans and scholarships are available. Please email us at settingthestage1996@gmail.com to arrange.

Cancellation Policy: A $50 non-refundable deposit is included in the tuition.  Workshop tuition is refundable (minus the $50 deposit) ONLY IF YOUR SPOT CAN BE FILLED FROM THE WAITLIST up to TWO WEEKS before the workshop begins.  You may also opt to get a full credit towards a future production up until one week before the session begins.  This credit expires one year after issued.
TUITION IS NON-REFUNDABLE ONCE THE SESSION HAS BEGUN.

Tuition price does not include tickets for the performance. Details on ticketing will be sent out once rehearsals have begun.

When Setting the Stage was founded, we had a slogan: "You won't see one star here, you'll see a galaxy!" The directors created the program to give opportunities to many young actors, not just the few who landed a major role. 

Because of this, you may notice in our show that some roles are divided into multiple parts. This gives more actors the opportunity to play these parts-- and it prevents one actor from having to learn several hundred lines! 

We do realize that this is probably confusing for the audience-- and for any actors who are new to our program. Please understand, this is our way of giving an opportunity to many shining stars, instead of just a few!
