Attendance Policy:
We will take conflicts into consideration when casting. A conflict is any time you will miss rehearsal, be late or leave early. 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 or leaving early 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.
Each cast member will need to provide a base outfit in the style and color selected for their cast. More info to come.
Scripts/Materials:
All scripts/music/materials must be returned by the final performance date (October 24th). Any late returns or damaged materials will result in a $50 fee. No exceptions.
Fine Print
