Show Expectations
If selected to perform in this year’s show, you are expected to:
BE PROFESSIONAL.
ATTENDANCE
- You may be absent from a maximum of 2 rehearsals prior to tech week. In order to be excused from the rehearsal, you must communicate with Mrs. Gigliotti at least 3 days prior to the absence. If you are sick, then an email, text or phone call should occur immediately.
- If you are tardy more than 2 times (15 + late ) you will be dismissed from the show.
- Students who are MIA without any direct notification to Mrs. G (not another student) will be removed from the cast and/or replaced.
- You must learn to take responsibility for yourself and your commitments.
PREPARATION
Once you receive your assigned piece – take time to PRACTICE it. If you are not well rehearsed, you risk being removed from the program or replaced.
YOU are responsible for your own props, costumes, and make-up; however, student leaders/directors will do their best to help you find what you need. If you borrow a costume you are responsible for its care.
BE RESPECTFUL & COURTEOUS of your fellow cast members, Mrs. Gigliotti, the production team, choreographer and your student directors and student choreographers, they will put a lot of time and energy into this show and deserve your respect.
