Attendance

General Policy

  1. To participate in the show, students must be available on both the day of the audition workshop and the day of their audition designated by last name. Students should be prepared to stay for the duration of their respective audition.

  2. Students will attend all scheduled rehearsals. Not every student will be required to attend every rehearsal. Please see the specific Rehearsal Schedule released following the Cast List.

  3. Attendance is MANDATORY for all Performers and Stage Crew during each day of Tech Week and for all performances. If you are not available for ALL tech week rehearsals or performances, you should not participate.

  4. If a Performer consistently will be unavailable or will need to leave early or arrive late more than one time per week throughout the process (for example, they have another activity every Tuesday which prevents them from attending any Tuesday rehearsal and the student also will need to leave rehearsal early every Friday), then this may not be a good fit for your child's schedule.

  5. More than 3 unexcused absences from rehearsal will result in removal from the production. There are a limited number of rehearsals in a condensed time frame. Every role is important and having one cast member missing affects the entire cast. An unexcused absence is defined as a rehearsal absence not listed on conflict form or not due to illness or family emergency.

Unexcused Absences

  1. An unexcused absence is defined as a rehearsal absence not listed on Conflict Form or not due to illness or family emergency.

  2. Unexcused absences also include leaving early or arriving late for a specific rehearsal if that change is not listed on the Conflict Form.

  3. "Surprise" or "Special" trips, getaways, outings or the like need to be surprises or special for your child NOT for the Director or Production Committee. If you cannot list these types of absences on the form in order to maintain their "special" or "surprise" nature, you must email the Production Coordinator prior to the distribution of the Cast List.

Excused Absences

Excused Absences include all of the following:

  1. Any absence listed on the Conflict Form.

  2. Any late arrival or early departure listed on the Conflict Form.

  3. Any illness.

  4. A family emergency (parents please try to notify the Production Coordinator as soon as possible).
