General Information and Policies
Mandatory Parent Meetings
Parents of minors are required to attend three mandatory parent meetings. The first meeting will be at registration day. The second parent meeting will be halfway through the rehearsal process. The final parent meeting will be held during Load-in at the theatre.
Attendance
Attendance at all scheduled rehearsals is mandatory unless you have listed conflicts or have cleared unexpected absences with the director in advance, in which case the absence will be "excused." Excused absences will include: Illness, Weddings, Funerals, scheduled competitions or playoffs. Unexcused absences will include: birthday parties, play dates, trips to Disneyland, etc., or out of town guests. "Unexpected" means anything that is not listed on your conflict sheet. Unexcused absences may result in the cast member being removed from his or her lead part or scenes missed.
Volunteering
Every family is responsible for volunteering for at least two jobs during Tech Week, and one Pre-Production job (such as volunteering on a Tech Day to help with sets, props, or costumes.) A Volunteer Opportunities sheet listing options and job descriptions and a Parent Volunteer Form is attached to this packet. Jobs will be given on a first come, first served basis. Parents of students younger than age 14 MUST volunteer at least one Tech Rehearsal or Performance in the Dressing Room/Green room. We will post a specific schedule a few weeks before Tech Week so you can choose the specific dates you want to work. Buyouts: We recognize that some families have life situations that preclude them from volunteering at all, therefore we offer the option to buyout of volunteering for a fee of $125.
Ticket Sales
Every cast member is required to sell a minimum of 10 tickets (or 15 per family). General admission pre-sale tickets are $16 each. Group tickets (20 or more at one time) are available for a discounted price of $14 each and count for your minimum required sales. Prizes and incentives are given to top sellers of tickets.
Program Ads
Every family is required to sell a minimum of one $25 program business card ad or dedication. There are incentives for selling more program ads, with prizes given to the top seller. Program ad sale packets will be distributed to every family with further instructions on how to sell ads during Parent Meetings.
Fundraisers
As with any non-profit organization fundraising is a fact of life and we always try to do several easy fundraisers such as restaurant fundraisers or the Comedy & Magic Club, for every show. We also do two major fundraisers every year, such as the Spaghetti Dinner and Talent Show and the Fundraiser Gala. Participation in these fundraisers is strongly encouraged but not required.
