Actin' Up: Workshop Policy Agreement 2026

Mandatory Parent Meeting

Parents of all cast members must attend the Parent Meeting where you will receive important information critical to the success of your cast member and show.

Parent Participation

One parent per family is required to fulfill one of our volunteer positions listed on your Audition sheet. A parent must also

help with the “strike” (breakdown, cleanup and loading) of the set after the final performance.

Check Communication Channels

All communication is done via FACEBOOK. Parents must commit to checking their FACEBOOK for any changes and updates regarding the production. An accurate FACEBOOK address must be provided.

Costumes

Cast members will be required to provide their own costumes or pay a costume rental fee. We make every effort to keep costs to a minimum and to allow flexibility and creativity. Specific items may be required.

Absences

Attendance is very important. Cast members cannot miss their scheduled featured rehearsals. Due to limited rehearsal time we will not be able to go back and re-teach or re-stage scenes for students who are absent. If a cast member misses a rehearsal, they may not be placed in that particular number. A detailed schedule will be given out in advance. It is extremely important that you keep track of the schedule and which days your character is scheduled to stay late. Mark any conflicts you may have and present them with your registration packet in advance. Tech week (the week of the performance) will be all day and into the evening rehearsals. Attendance is mandatory. There can be no absences. Missing a mandatory rehearsal will result in consequences for that participant.

Additional Rehearsals and Schedule Changes

Additional rehearsals and changes are very rare, but may be scheduled as needed. We will make every effort to give you plenty of notice in advance.

Dismissals

Disruptive students will be asked to sit out of rehearsal and will not be eligible to participate in the number being taught. Any student whose behavior is deemed inappropriate by staff will be dismissed from the workshop without a refund of the registration fee. Cast members and their parents must be aware that rehearsals can be strenuous and require cast members to have the ability to focus for up to 90 minutes at a time.

I have read the policies and agree.
