ATTENDANCE POLICY: Students in the full time program are typically students for whom the Shakespeare Company program is their main activity, comparable to competitive dance or high-level sports. This is “Triple-A” theatre! Theatre often depends on the attendance of the whole group to be able to rehearse large sequences. If your student has other priorities or will have to be absent frequently, it is recommended that you join our Part-Time program instead. The expectation for the Full Time program is that students will attend all rehearsals unless they’re ill. Students are required to be available for all dress rehearsals and performances. If a student is absent more than once, their role may be reduced or re-cast, at the discretion of the Studio Director.
