ATTENDANCE and COMMITMENT RULES

Participation in this production is both a privilege and a responsibility. Every cast member plays a vital role in the success of the show, and commitment from day one is essential.

To be able to be considered for a role in the musical, please carefully review and agree to the following terms using the google form.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

• Students who miss two or more rehearsals may find their role at risk and could be asked to leave the cast.

• If a student is absent from school due to illness, they are expected to email the Stage Manager to ensure the absence is recorded as excused. 

• Grade 9 students must take personal responsibility for catching up on any missed choreography and blocking following the Week Without Walls trip. Rehearsal materials will be posted on the production pages of the Theatre website.
  
  

GENERAL EXPECTATIONS

• All scheduled rehearsals are mandatory.

• Cast members must arrive on time and be fully prepared (wearing appropriate clothing and bringing scripts, water, etc.).

• Any known scheduling conflicts must be clearly listed on the form and discussed with the production team upon acceptance of the role.

• Cast members are expected to check the rehearsal schedule regularly to know when they are needed and should contact the production team if unsure.

• Respectful and collaborative behaviour is required at all times. Disruptive or disrespectful behaviour that negatively affects the cast or rehearsal process may result in removal from the production.

• Students are required to self-manage their behaviour on and off stage. Students who cause disruption to rehearsals or other performers and crew will be asked to leave rehearsal. This will be classed as an 'absence'.

Students without a completed signed contract will not be considered for a role in this year's show.
