REHEARSAL PROCEDURES

Cast:

Any time a student is called to rehearsal they need to bring their script, a pencil, a water bottle and wear clothing that is easy to move around in. During rehearsals students may be asked to do multiple different activities including singing, dancing, and reviewing lines/blocking.

Students will stay after school for rehearsals. Not every student will be called to every rehearsal. When students are called they need to eat their snack prior to coming to the theater at 3:40. Many teachers are willing to accommodate the need for students to eat their snack. Please be present and prompt in picking your child up at the end of rehearsal. All rehearsals are closed rehearsals, we do not allow parents to watch rehearsals as it can be distracting to students. 

The expectation is that students are practicing their roles at home including their songs, lines and choreography. They should come to rehearsal ready to review and learn new information. 

Crew: 

Any time a student is called to rehearsal they need to bring a water bottle and clothing that fits the safety standards as listed in the handbook. 

Students will stay after school for rehearsals. Not every student will be called to every rehearsal. When students are called they need to eat their snack prior to coming to the theater at All Call. Many teachers are willing to accommodate the need for students to eat their snack. Please be present and prompt in picking your child up at the end of rehearsal. All rehearsals are closed rehearsals, we do not allow parents to watch rehearsals as it can be distracting to students. 

In general the crew rehearsal schedule is as follows: 

• Mondays - Makeup Crew and Management Crew

• Tuesdays - Stagehand/Props Crew and Management Crew

• Wednesdays - Costume Crew and Management Crew

• Thursdays - Management Crew

• Booth Crew does not attend rehearsals until we start Tech Week on Super Saturday. However, they may attend on Tuesdays with Stagehand/Props if they wish to have more participation in the set up for the show. 

The expectation is that students come to rehearsal ready to contribute and put in a good effort towards whatever project they have been assigned. 

ATTENDANCE

Students may miss up to two rehearsals unexcused, anymore than that and we will need to discuss their participation in the show. An Unexcused absence is any rehearsal conflict that was not listed on the student’s conflict list collected with the audition or application information. This includes late arrivals or early dismissals. 

In order to participate in rehearsals and performances the student must be in attendance in school at PPA the day of the rehearsal/performance for at least a half day. Students who are taken from school due to illness are not allowed to attend rehearsal. Any hold placed on a student due to illness applies to after school activities as well. 

Blocking, direction, and instruction occur at every rehearsal so students need to be there, missing even one rehearsal can set back an actor and a show. We want to be understanding of emergencies and sickness, but being in a show is a big time commitment. 

If your student will not be attending rehearsal please notify the stage manager Mrs. McQuigg at kayla.mcquigg@parkerperformingarts.org as soon as possible.
