Each play that Wild Swan Theater performs requires much hard work. Actors rehearse for weeks before they perform. Other members of Wild Swan make the costumes and sets. The musicians must practice the music, composed by professionals. Everyone involved must work as a team in order to bring the stories to life. Below are some pictures of the actors rehearsing at the Wild Swan Studio.
