STUDENT SHOW AGREEMENT

Schedule and Attendance

As the student, I promise that

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

  • On original conflict sheet and approved by the director

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

  • Sick from school with an excused absence.  

• Should I miss the school day due to illness, I will communicate to the director immediately. I understand that per school guidelines, I can not 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. 

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.

No-Conflict Rehearsals

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

Respect and Professionalism

As the actor, 

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

As the director, 

• I promise to maintain a safe and respectful place to perform and will not permit disrespectful behavior or comments to students or staff. I will never require you to perform an action in which you do not feel safe. I will also ensure five or ten minute breaks each rehearsal.

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.
