4. Please be prepared to learn a Choreography combination. Remember this when picking out your outfit. No flip flops or Crocs please.
Attendance Policy:
We will take conflicts into consideration when casting. A conflict is any time you will miss rehearsal. This includes work, school, family events, concerts, vacations, church activities, etc.
Every absence must be approved prior to the missed rehearsal. We allow up to three excused absences. These are dates that are listed on your audition form prior to casting.
We do not allow any of these absences to be two weeks before tech week, during tech week, dress rehearsals or performance days. Constant tardiness will count as a conflict. Approval of conflicts is solely up to the Director.
Any unexcused absences are subject to removal from numbers/scenes or the show all together. An unexcused absence is a no show, no call or any absence not previously approved by the Director.
Fees:
There will be a $50 fee due per cast member or a $25 fee AND volunteer for 3 hours. This fee will help us with the costs of putting on this production.
Cast members will be responsible for providing pieces of their own costume. These could/will include: Underdressings, footwear, hosiery, make-up, etc.
Scripts/Materials:
All scripts/music/materials must be returned by the final performance date (August 23rd). Any late returns or damaged materials will result in a $50 fee.
Strike:
Strike will be held on August 23rd after our final performance. All cast members will have an assignment. Parents are welcome to help as well. We will take down the set, return props & costumes and clean up the theater.
Fine Print
Rehearsals are closed to friends and family. Only cast & crew will be allowed in rehearsals.
No one will be allowed backstage except for scheduled volunteers, stage crew and the performing cast.
Not everyone who auditions will get a callback.
You may still be in the cast even if you did not receive a callback.
Cast list will be posted on our website.
