If you are holding auditions, the waiting space is really small. Only two people can wait at the same time. Keep that in mind when you invite auditionees. As we are located in a residential area, we cannot allow long musical theatre, opera or band rehearsals. We can have music but not for a long period of time. Hourly singing lessons are fine.
