STUDENT SHOW AGREEMENT

Schedule and Attendance

As your director, I promise that

• You and your family will have access to the rehearsal and performance schedule from the very beginning of the process, indicating dates and times that you are called to rehearsal.

• We will start and stop rehearsals on time.

As the actor,

• I have read the rehearsal calendar and agree to attend all scheduled rehearsals unless communicated to and approved by Mr. Johnson. I understand that all absences are considered unexcused unless:

  • On original conflict sheet

  • Communicated to and approved by Mr. Johnson at least 24 hours in advance (via email).

  • Sick from school

• I understand that per school guidelines, I CANNOT attend rehearsal if I have been absent for at least half of the school day.

• I understand that 2 unexcused absences OR 1 unexcused absence within 10 days of the show may result in removal from the production.

No-Conflict Rehearsals

• 10 days before opening night all rehearsals are required. No conflicts will be accepted.

Respect and Professionalism

As your director, 

• I promise to maintain a safe and respectful place to perform and will not permit disrespectful behavior or comments. I will also ensure five or ten minute breaks each rehearsal to ensure rest and time to socialize.

As the actor, 

• I agree to treat other performers, staff, and spaces with respect, including by only using my phone at appropriate break times.

Health and Wellness

As your director, 

• I promise to consider your health a priority. I will never ask you to perform any action in which you do not feel safe at all times, and make sure that there are breaks for water.

As the actor, 

• I promise to consider my health and the health of the cast and crew at all times and follow school guidelines about whether or not I should attend school. Should I miss the school day due to illness, I will communicate to the director immediately.

Quitting

• Performing in a show is a considerable commitment. If you are cast in a show and quit after rehearsals begin, you are not honoring your commitment and this may impact future casting.
