If I am accepted into the Observership Pool, how long am I committed to this program? | Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation

Accepted candidates are eligible for all Observership opportunities that start rehearsal by June 30, 2014. However, you are free to do as you choose during this time frame, and you will only apply to those opportunities that suit your interest and schedule. We understand that most applicants have many projects and jobs requiring differing time commitments. This is a flexible program that can fit with the rest of your life. If you apply and are selected for a project, your commitment is from first rehearsal (and sometime some pre-production) through opening night. This is typically a period of four to twelve weeks. You should not have any conflicts with the rehearsal or preview schedule on your project.
