Student Contract
Student Contract

Resumes!
While we do not require that you have a resume, it is a good skill to learn! They are also super helpful to the casting staff. Below is a video on how to make a resume for theatre! There is a correct format! If you make a resume, just staple it to your audition form.

A Note on Casting: Due to the contracts that give us rights to perform certain scripts, there will almost always be some characters that MUST present as a certain gender. In other words, we are not free to "gender-bend" certain characters as this would be a legal violation of our contracts. However, when we are not bound by contract to present a character as a particular gender, we will make all casting choices based on who gives the best audition regardless of who you are. We firmly feel that equal opportunities should be given to all actors! Be sure to ask the director if you have questions about which characters we can be flexible with and any available pants roles.
Pants Role: A role in which the character is male (is dressed as male and all characters use he/him to reference the character), but the actress is female. If this is done for a musical, the key of music is shifted for the actress. These sorts of roles are allowed by most contracts and allow us to expand offerings to our female students.
