FAQ's
What will it cost?
All Tecumseh HIGH SCHOOL students are required to pay a Pay-To-Participate fee. This will appear on your EZPay account in February and must be paid by March 1 to participate in the productions.
There is no participation fee for the middle school students. The program stays afloat on ticket sales and sponsorships. We know that participating families enjoy seeing the show and by purchasing tickets for multiple friends and family members (or encouraging those purchases), you can do your part to sustain the program. There will be other items/opportunities (show T-shirt, flower sales, etc) for the students to purchase if you and they choose to do so.
There will be some "base" items needed for costumes that will need to be purchased. Please refer to the COSTUME INFO tab for those details.
Where do we drop off and pick up students?
Students may enter the high school through the doors by the loading dock by the backstage area. They should arrive 10 minutes prior to the rehearsal time listed on the schedule. Students must sign in promptly.
What if students need to arrive late, leave early or miss rehearsal?
We do realize that there will be times when students will be late or need to miss a rehearsal altogether. However, excessive tardiness and absences will result in dismissal from the cast. Efforts will be made to accommodate requests for absences (there may be NO conflicts during the TECH WEEK rehearsals and SHOWS from March 11-17 ). These requests must be made to the Director ahead of time. Please submit your known conflicts during auditions!!
Eating at rehearsal?
We know that rehearsal can fall in the hours that do not allow students time to eat a meal at home. Snacks are welcome but we have a responsibility to keep the auditorium clean. Please only have water to drink and clean up your area before you leave for the night. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD IN THE DRESSING ROOMS!
When can we purchase tickets?
Ticket sales will begin in January. We have cast only sales for a full week before the public sales open. More detailed instructions will appear on the TICKET INFO tab.
Will there be merchandise?
YES!! We will have a "store" this year to purchase shirts, merchandise and yard signs to help promote the show! We will share that link when it is set up!
May students do homework during rehearsal?
Every effort is made to have students at rehearsal only when their scenes are being run. If there is downtime as others are working on something specific, we encourage students to have their homework with them to work on. Members of the cast will have time to do homework during some rehearsals (especially when we run full acts or the full show). Students must be aware of what specific scene is being rehearsed at a given moment, however. It is the students’ responsibility to be on the stage for their cues.
