We just found out ... show's closed ... calling the parents today ... getting something worked up REALLY fast for future productions ... We would like to see what other troupes have in place already before we reinvent the wheel.  Thanks!

 

To ensure a fun and successful production for everyone involved, I agree to abide by the following expectations:

 

·        will arrive on time for all rehearsals and performances, this means being ready to begin at the time indicated on the rehearsal schedule, not walking in the door at that time.  If I will be late I will call the director at least half an hour ahead of time.

·        provide the director with as complete a list of conflicts as possible at the beginning of the rehearsal period.

·        will come to all rehearsals with something to write with.

·        will have lines learned by off-book rehearsals.  Of course lines will not be perfect, but won’t be calling “line” on every sentence.

·        it is the actor’s job to act.  It is the director’s job to direct.  Therefore, actors should not tell other actors how to act or what to do with their characters.  If I have an idea for someone else’s character I will tell the director and let them tell that actor.

·        mice are not nice.  I will clean-up any food brought to the theatre, and help keep the Green Room clean.

·        return any rented materials (costumes, scores, etc.) in good condition.

·        will consult the director before making any drastic changes in my physical appearance.  (i.e. hair color/length, piercing, etc.)

·        all rehearsals except final dress are “closed”.  Therefore, I will not invite guests to a rehearsal unless I have cleared it with the director in advance.

·        be here for all rehearsals during tech week, with no exceptions.  I will make arrangements and cancel other plans to be here during this important week of rehearsals.

·        the use of alcohol or drugs will not be tolerated during rehearsals or performances.

·        will turn off and refrain from using cellular phones during rehearsals, I will wait to check messages and place calls when the company is on break, so as not to be a distraction to the other performers who are rehearsing.

·        conduct myself in an appropriately professional manner.

·        will treat all theatre volunteers and staff with respect.

·        participate in strike following the final performance.

·        have fun!
