You are invited to attend circus rehearsals and find out the answers to those questions as the advanced students of The Actors Gymnasium prepare to put on the first show in the new Advanced Student Performance Series. Production meetings and rehearsals have already begun, but there are still two months of fine-tuning yet to experience.
