Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students: Please read the following and sign below to indicate you understand and agree with the following:
Behavior Expectations for Students
o
I will honor my commitment to Countywide Youth Theater Production
o
I understand that mature behavior,
positive attitude and teamwork are mandatory during CYTP rehearsals and shows. I
will be respectful to all the adults and fellow cast members. I will make every
effort to compliment and support my fellow cast and
backstage members.
o
I will make the commitment to prepare and
memorize BEFORE rehearsals.
o
HEART Academy rules apply while at the
rehearsal locations and I must remain in locations as directed by the Heart
& CYTP parents and always ask an adult for permission to go somewhere else
in the building.
o
If my behavior is such that it is
disruptive and not seen as in the best interest of CYTP or Heart Academy, I
may be asked to leave the group.
o I will honor a Friendship Culture at
CYTP and therefore, refrain from showing romantic expression to whom I am
“crushing” on. I understand that governing
myself in this way shows that I am valuing others and not just looking at my
own interest but the interests of others.
Phil 2:3
o
I
will dress modestly when I am in community during rehearsals and shows. 1 Cor 6:19-20
o
I
agree that God created male and female genders.
I identify with the one I was born with.
Gen 1:26-27
o
I will agree to keep the peace
between myself and other people.
Therefore, I am open and teachable to coaching. 1 Cor 6:1-8
o
I will talk to the directors or coordinators if something is happening
that is keeping me from having an enjoyable, rewarding theater experience.
Rehearsals and Attendance for Students
o
I will do my best to make it to every
rehearsal or meeting where I am needed.
I have checked for any conflicts with scheduling before signing the contract. If I have more than 5 conflicts, I understand
that it might keep me from getting lead roles.
If I have more than 7 conflicts, it may be necessary to re-evaluate my
priorities. CYTP reserves the right to
waive conflicts as special cases arise.
o
I understand that extended or additional
rehearsals on Saturdays and tech week may be necessary and am willing to adjust
my schedule to make it to these rehearsals.
o
I am responsible for making
transportation arrangements ahead of time.
o
I understand that extra bodies create
extra noise, therefore, I will not bring any of my friends to rehearsal.
o
It is my responsibility to notify the
administrator/producer of HEART Academy (Crissi Allen 408-712-4646 or heartacademysj@gmail.com, or Director Sandi Gonzalez 510-207-3579) if I am not unable to attend a regularly scheduled
rehearsal or meeting due to sickness or other emergency.
Parent/Guardian Volunteerism Expectations: IMPORTANT!!
o
I will check the rehearsal or meeting schedule and will be on time to pick up
my child after rehearsals. I understand
that the volunteers cannot leave until my child is picked up.
o
I understand that the CYTP operates through the efforts of parent
volunteers therefore, volunteer jobs are an important part of YTP.
o
I understand parents are expected to coordinate or help with a
production committee or by volunteering at several regular rehearsals or meetings. Commitment will be about 40+ hours
before, during and after the production.
Set pieces will need to be returned to theaters and we’ll need help with
large pieces therefore, dads or very strong boys are required to help out 2-5 hours
during move in or strike.
o
I understand that all parents are also expected to volunteer with at
least three dress rehearsals and 3 performances. This means tech week, you might be called to
help out 4-6 days or more out of that week.
o
I understand that parents are responsible for their child’s costume(s).
o I understand that CYTP reserves the right to choose other students that
have not auditioned for the show. This is not a common practice; but sometimes, a certain
role may call for an older or younger individual.
o
WITHDRAWING FROM A PRODUCTION AND REFUNDS: If you withdraw from a production for any reason
after the cast list is posted, no refund is given. If you withdraw from a
production, you will not be allowed to audition for the next production you are
eligible for unless excused by the Producers or Artistic Directors for
extenuating circumstances. It is the performer’s responsibility to inform YTP
of your circumstance within one week of withdrawing from a production in order
to be cleared for the next audition.
We
have read and understand the Youth Theater Project contract requirements and
are willing to make the commitment to this program by adhering to the above
requirements.
Read this to your child and then please sign below with both your first and last name.
