Guidelines regarding the Mystic Paper Beasts Theatre Co. Rehearsal Space, located at 401 Shewville Rd., Ledyard, Ct., as decided by the Mystic Paper Beasts Board of Trustees.

This is not a public hall. Users may not publicly advertise events. Participation is by invitation only.

The Mystic Paper Beasts Theatre Co. will review all applications for use of the new rehearsal space, and will pass these on to the Board of Directors. Such proposals for use should be submitted via email, in the body of an email letter, and should include a brief description of the activity and goal, and of the artists, and of the date(s) desired. This can be sent to Marya at mybeasts@aol.com. She then will forward this to the Board. Artists should hear within a week whether or not their proposal will work for the Egg.
