Student Expectations
|
At Rehearsal
|
At Home
|
Students will maintain consistent rehearsal attendance and positive behavior. Disruptive behavior and unexcused absences will result in the following consequences:
- Warning from production staff with an explanation of misbehavior (ex. talking to friends during rehearsal, unexcused absences).
- If a cast/techie’s behavior is deemed unacceptable by the production team, the cast member/techie may be cut from the performance or reassigned to a position with reduced responsibility and involvement.
