Attendance: Attendance at rehearsals and performances is mandatory. If you listed a date(s) on your audition form for which you are not available, you are excused. No absences will be allowed the three weeks immediately prior to or during performances (list date span). Should an emergency arise, inform the Director immediately using Email or Text.
Tardiness: Be on time for rehearsals. The industry standard is fifteen minutes before the scheduled rehearsal time. The time of rehearsal means you are warmed up, properly dressed and prepared to work at the time. No student may leave rehearsal early, unless prearranged with the Director at least 24 hours in advance.
Respect: Respect the crew, the directors, the designers, your fellow actors and yourself.
Pick Up: Make sure you arrange transportation for rehearsals and performances.
Notes: The proper response to Notes is “Thank You”, as an acknowledgement. If you are having difficulty with a certain direction or person, please take these concerns to the director after Notes have finished. Do not feed lines to other actors on stage. Bring a pencil and your script to every rehearsal. If you are asked to write down feedback, do so and then incorporate the suggestions in the next run.
Cell Phones: Leave phone/tablets in locker or bag. Parents/Guardians can contact the Director if a need arises.
Quiet: Avoid all talking and/or whispering when you are in the wings, house, and backstage.
Tech Rehearsals: These are the only times the designers get to fine-tune their work with actors present.
Conduct: At no time should any student involved in the production be involved with drugs or alcohol. You shall be removed from the cast immediately if found in violation of this rule.
Props: Never touch props that aren’t yours, actors are responsible for checking their props before each show.
Honor your Audience: You have a responsibility to perform the show as rehearsed and to do your best, regardless of how many audience members are in the house. No Ad Libs, it goes against our Licensing Agreement. Reminder, our final show is our Sensory Friendly performance.
