I won't name show or anything else incriminating, but that's what we are about to do.
What is there general opinion on Hastily called Mid-Season Rehearsals?
When I say mid-season, I mean the show has already performed to live audiences (as opposed to dead ones ;-) and suddenly a rehearsal is called.
I personally do not like the idea. Fair enough if it a very long season, and I mean long. Fair enough if it had been planned earlier in the piece (like before the show goes up.)
But really, I don't how to feel about this one. I'm upset, that much I do know, but why?
Thoughts?

Well it turns out that I may have jumped the gun a bit. It was revealled to me that cast members were either aware or requested this rehearsal.
I am also advised that Mid-season rehearsals are quiet frequent in the eastern states and other countries. I have to say that this is the first time I have experienced such a thing. That's a first in 25 shows.
I apologise to any that may have been offended by my comments but they were more an expression of personal confusion than anything else.
