rehearsal spaces
You can use the MSM practice rooms beginning at 7:00 PM the night before your audition and any time on the day your audition is scheduled. We ask you to be considerate of your fellow applicants and limit your practice time to one hour at a time. Once you have auditioned, you will not be allowed to use the MSM facilities for practicing as practice space is limited.
