Hopeful Crew Technicians,
Thank you for applying for a role on the tech crew for The Visit! Because this is a shorter rehearsal schedule, we will be moving quickly. This, in addition to being a smaller technical show than other season productions, will mean that the selection process will be more limited and paramount participants are available everyday.
Below are the details for applying and participating, so please read this contract carefully so you know your responsibility. Your parents will be required to review and submit a similar agreement.
ELIGIBILITY: Students are required to keep grades passing. If you have 2 or more F's in any of their classes, you will be placed on probation and will be unable to participate in crew for a week. If they are out for more than one week, they may need to be replaced. I will encourage you on my end, as well. While the show is important, academic success is paramount.
CLOTHING: Each technician will be required to wear appropriate work clothes, per their role, during any work call (Closed toed shoes, paint clothes, hair ties, no jewelry, no baggy clothes).
CONDUCT: Out of respect and safety for the cast, crew, and directors, any form of horse-play, loitering, or inappropriate use of the theater space/materials will not be tolerated. Friends and family not partaking in the production are not allowed on stage, backstage, in the shops, or in the green room for their own safety.
SCHEDULE: Weekday crew calls start at 3:40 and end at 5:30PM. Technicians will take time to clean up trash, discarded materials or other mess that has been made during that call. If a technician forgets to clean his/her mess, Mr. Ely reserves the right to hold the student’s dismissal until said mess is clean. A detailed calendar of which crew is to be called and when will be present on the callboard to the left of the theater classroom and uploaded to the Grandview Performing Arts webpage.
ACTIVITY FEE: Each crew member will be required to pay a $30.00 activity fee. You may pay via credit card on the Grandview webpage by clicking on the following link:

Ticket purchasing details are forthcoming. Assistance for activity fees may be available for families in financial crisis. Please let us know ASAP if this is the case.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Due to time constraints there will be Saturday calls in February.
