I agree  to abide by the conditions set forth in the Hannon Theatre Company's Parent Orientation Presentation pages.  We realize that failure to adhere to these stipulations may result in one’s student being dismissed from the company.  


Furthermore, I understand that I will need to refresh my memory of these sections as the rehearsal process proceeds.

I have noted how to reach Mr. Wolfe. 
  For your easy reference here is the contact information again --  He prefers parents use his email address wwolfe@loyolahs.edu.  If a parent needs to use voice mail, his extension in 3076 in the Loyola phone system -- 213.381.5121.   Chances are he will not answer the phone.  Students will be given Mr. Wolfe's private cell phone number on the first day of rehearsal and they will share it with you.

          The  Hannon Theatre Company believes whole-heartedly in a "fully-inclusive" casting policy.  

          The producers and casting panel of HTC do not take into account one's ethnicity or race when casting a production -- what used to be referenced as "color-blind" casting. Dramatic and musical literature for all of HTC's productions are chosen with this policy in mind.

              Just as we are racially and ethnically all-inclusive, there are no belief system requirements for membership.  Students of all faiths are welcome to become company members.

         Although we welcome students of all faiths, as we are sponsored by a Jesuit institution, we do espouse the Jesuit charism -- meaning that the concepts of personal reflection and connectivity with the larger group are often practiced through meditative and prayer-like opportunities.  We strive to be inclusive of everyone's personal belief systems.  One of our most beloved traditions is having a member of our Jesuit community celebrate Mass for the company before Opening Night and again on Closing Night for each production.

 All students are required to participate in these activities as a means of creating a bond amongst the group.  

        These are the talking points we will be using in any conferences with your student should he/she be disappointed about the role he was assigned for this production.   If you can reinforce them at home when discussing or comforting your newly cast but disappointed student, we will be forming a partnership where real learning can grow.

1.  Every ensemble member is as important as a principal player.  Seriously.

2.  Being in the ensemble does not mean one's status as a worthy performer is any different than those whom the directors and company chose to play a character with more stage time.  

3.  The role which has been entrusted to a performer is in no way a reflection of one's degree of talent.  

4.  There is no hierarchy which rules casting decisions.  The importance of casting the right people in the ensemble takes as much consideration as casting the right people in principal roles. 

5.  No preference is given to seniority.  No special treatment is given to those performers who have been in the program longer than others.  No special treatment is given to those who were entrusted with principal roles in a previous production.

          Being proud of one's role in the team is a central attribute to being a happy, productive member of any theatre company. Parents need to be able to encourage their young performers to understand that the goals of the theatre company are bigger than the emotional needs of one student.  Being a part of something bigger than one's self is perhaps at the core of what theatre means.  To that end, parents are encouraged to support these deeply rooted tenets of casting philosophy.

 

             Full parental support is key to the success of the production.   Therefore, if you as a parent can see the bigger picture that your child's involvement in the program is not going to be compatible with your family's priorities, your conscientiousness is appreciated before casting.

            Once a student is cast, we ask all parents not to make any artificial restriction on eligibility based on grades for their individual students. Furthermore, denying your student access to rehearsal because of disciplinary policies (they are "grounded" and therefore can't attend) is also not compatible with our rehearsal process.  

            Every parent is encouraged to consult with their student to decide whether being committed to a production will serve his/her academic studies and family disciplinary procedures BEFORE auditioning.  After a student is cast, he/she has made a commitment to be a member of the company until the production at hand is completely over.  

          Often times, parents have strict, family-specific policies regarding grade expectations and students have a compact with their parents that they will achieve a certain grade in order to make him/her "eligible" for extra-curricular activities. Sometimes, if a student slips below those expectations, parents follow through on their compact and the artistic director will get a call that a certain cast member needs to be dropped from the show due to grades.  

         Having one company member pulled out of the show at the last minute due to academic or disciplinary ineligibility results in a significant headache for entire production staff, cast, and crew, and a lot more work at an already stressful time.  Pulling a student out of the show based on recent grade under-achievement or some infraction at home not only punishes your student, but severely affects the entire theatre company.   We do not cast understudies; there is no "second string" that can step into a missing role easily.   Pulling a student from a production is unacceptable.  

      Therefore, if for any reason, you'd prefer your student not be cast, Mr. Wolfe is willing to be the "bad guy" and he will instruct the audition panel to take your son/daughter out of consideration.  They will simply not cast your son/daughter.

          All auditionees are asked to diligently complete a rehearsal conflict sheet prior to their audition.   It is available as an online form from the Audition Information webpage.  If they do not fill one out before the casting session begins, they will not be considered for roles in the show. Period.

           If a student is cast, any conflicts listed on that conflict sheet for the production period will be deemed excused absences.  Conflicts that arise after a conflict sheet has been submitted will be deemed unacceptable and may result in the directors reconsidering one's role in the production.

          A student who has too many conflicts on his conflict sheet will not be cast.
 

          The main reason we require some sort of participation in this presentation or a parent meeting at all is as follows:

          The main issues are college visits, confirmation class requirements, and sports club team tournaments during that time.  If parents, without prior notice, extend their weekend plans to a couple of days before or after, these absences will be considered unexcused and will jeopardize the student's further participation in the production.

          Students sacrifice a great deal to be in any HTC production and meet the rehearsal demands.  It is patently unfair for the Director to make exceptions for one person who has an unexpected conflict and not offer a similar exception to someone who quietly and conscientiously changed his/her schedule to be at rehearsal.  The Director cannot be put in the position of deciding what conflict is more important than the another person's conflict.  One family's ski trip might be just as important to their dynamic as another family's trip to see Grandma or visit a college.  

          A family that joins us on this journey is gambling that no better offer will come along.  The phrase one often hears actors say is "I can't.  I have rehearsal."  They even make merchandise with that phrase.  It is the paramount rule of theatrical discipline and commitment.  

          Ironically, it is not "newbies" that cause the most issues with this policy.  Whereas seniors should have a stronger sense of the commitment due to their participation in prior shows, that logic does not always play out.  Because seniors have more experience in the program, they have developed a rapport with the directors.  They have evidence of the directing team's genuine affection and care for their individual needs.  However, this collegiality often is misconstrued.  Often, veteran students are under the impression that the directing team will make an exception for them, allowing them to do what the directors do not allow anyone else to do.  Or they believe if they are in a leading role that the directors will make an exception for them because they are indispensable.  The directing team must remain firm and take on the hardship of any consequences in order to keep this rule alive.

          Look at it this way --  If your son were on a Spring sports team, he would undoubtedly not miss practice for other activities. Athletes unable to attend practices would end up on the bench for a few games.  What makes commitment to the theatre different is that HTC does not have a second string waiting to step in for someone absent.  Each member is vital to a successful day of preparation for performance.

       Admittedly, this problem is more frequent during the Spring Musical.  If your student auditions again for us in January, this section of the presentation is more pointed and specific.  But it happens with the fall production from time to time as well.  

        Kicking kids out of the show had massive morale and artistic repercussions as it does every time it happens.  However, keeping undisciplined performers in a show when others make sacrifices to be present is patently unfair.   The directing team is adamant about parents being aware that decisions made on behalf of their students do have serious repercussions for all.  

          Here are the basics of the Fall Play Rehearsal Schedule:

          The HTC Calendar online is updated every Thursday night to reflect the specific personnel needs for the next Monday through Friday.  Who is needed at any rehearsal is listed in the Description portion of the event.  

          Also, Mr. Wolfe sends out a Weekly Newsletter every Thursday night to each company member and his parents via email.

            If there are any up to the minute changes, parents and students will be notified via the Remind app that texts everyone's phones.  

          This Fall, the basic rehearsal schedule is as follows:

                    Four days a week:  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

                    In the month of September,  rehearsal goes from 3:45 to 7:00.

                    On October 1, rehearsal times will extend an additional half hour and run from 3:45 to 7:30.

                    From October 21 through November 1, rehearsals will end at 8:00.  
               
                    Mandatory Rehearsals begin November 1 and will end at 9:00.

                    Mandatory Tech Week begins Saturday, November 9 -- arrival times and dismissal times vary.

          Regarding tardiness to rehearsal for our commuting members:  Ladies should arrive by safely driving to the LHS Campus.  They are only late if they are not in the rehearsal hall by 4:20.  And if they arrive after 4:20, Mr. Wolfe will speak to them about any extenuating circumstances.  Of paramount importance is that they do not take risks while driving just to get to rehearsal on time.  Mr. Wolfe is very forgiving on this issue.  

         Our Tech Week and Performance Week dismissal times will vary.  Please know to check the HTC Calendar for up to date rehearsal times.  

         The specifics of the rehearsal schedule can always be found on the HTC Calendar page of the website.  As it is a  Google Calendar, one can subscribe to it and add it to their personal  iCal or Android calendars for your easy reference.

          The most difficult, most stressful, most aggravating part of running a theatre program is having all the right performers at all the right rehearsals.  

          So, filling out the Rehearsal Conflict Form accurately and conscientiously is of paramount importance.   The hard and fast deadline for completing the Rehearsal Conflict Form is 7:00 pm on Callback Day, Thursday, September 5, so the casting panel can assess whether a student has too many conflicts or not.  

          The directorship PROMISES that if a conflict is listed on the Rehearsal Conflict Form as of 7:00 pm on Callback Day that prior commitment will be considered approved and sacrosanct if the student is cast in the production.   Mr. Wolfe promises to work the rehearsal plan and scheduling around such conflicts.  

         However, if a cast member comes to Mr. Wolfe with a new conflict after 7:00 pm on Callback Day,  being at every rehearsal required of him/her beyond his approved conflicts is now the prior commitment.  Mr. Wolfe warns that any such request to be let out of rehearsal for any other day will be denied.  

          Parents and students are gambling they will not have any other "better offer" commitments arise between Rehearsal Day One and Closing Night.  

          In the twenty-four years he has been director of the program, Mr. Wolfe has heard the following argument from a parent at least once a production:

           "Surely, you can let my student out of rehearsal just this once.  He didn't have any other conflicts this production.  He has been conscientious for three years.  Lots of the cast members have several conflicts that were approved."  

           Making this argument misses the point such a policy teaches students.  There are no exceptions to following through on one's commitments because of past behavior.  No one gets a pass on learning this tenet of theatre policy.  

          The directors promise all the performers and their parents that the dismissal time for every rehearsal is not variable from what is posted on the calendar for that particular day until tech week.  

          If the calendar says rehearsal is scheduled to last until 7:00, there will be no "last minute" accommodations in order for us to finish a scene or do a scene one more time.  There are never any punishments which involve staying later than the appointed time.  The Stage Manager is responsible for ensuring the director releases cast members at the scheduled dismissal time for every rehearsal.

          Mr. Wolfe assures you that he ends rehearsal at the published time.  However, a student may choose to dilly-dally before coming out to the parking lot.  Teenagers love to say good-bye to every friend as if they are going off to war.  Please make your rules clear about how quickly your student should be able to leave campus after dismissal time.  

          Conversely, we ask that parents pick up their students on time.  Security guards will stay with your student until they are picked up if for some reason parents are stuck in traffic or have car trouble.  However, the guard has the authority to change the pickup location on campus should it involve a longer delay than fifteen minutes.  

          If a parent is running late, he/she should either let his/her son/daughter know so he/she can alert the Stage Manager, or the parent can alert the Stage Manager directly.  Texting the director is also acceptable.  This way the appropriate accommodations with the Loyola High School security staff can be made.  The Stage Manager's cell phone number as well as the Director's cell phone number will be given out to the students at our first day of rehearsal.

          Car Pools are a long standing tradition with HTC.  Junior and Senior students who drive often take those who don't have their license home.  We ask that if this is okay with parents that they consider picking up their child at the home of the driver -- which should be significantly closer than coming downtown.  

          One of our first activities as a cast during the initial week of rehearsal, is making sure the directors know that all performers have a standard plan for leaving campus safely -- whether that involves staying to be picked up or going home with a licensed student.  

          The only caveat about car pools is that students with other students in their car must not make any detours on the way home.  The teenage curfew and driving restrictions are suspended if students are returning home from a school sanctioned event.  But the minute they veer off course to go to McDonald's (for instance) those rules no longer apply.  Please reinforce this policy at home when considering allowing your student to drive a car pool.  

          When an urgent issue arises that will prevent your student from attending a rehearsal, the optimum scenario involves having you, the parent, email the director before 10:00 a.m. on the day of the missed rehearsal.

          A parent should email Mr. Wolfe at wwolfe@loyolahs.edu (preferred) or leave him a voicemail at (213) 381-5121 x 3076.  It is imperative a parent is the one informing Mr. Wolfe of an absence as he must be aware that parents are cognizant of a cast member's whereabouts.  On the first day of rehearsal,  Mr. Wolfe will also give out his personal cell phone number to students to share with their parents so that they may call or text in an emergency.
 
          When a student and/or his/her parents plan a weekend college visit,  you must make arrangements to ensure two "emergencies"  do not happen:
 
1.  The flight does not leave at a time which conflicts with rehearsal.  No accommodations will be made because the only flight available before rehearsal ends on a Friday.

2.   His/her arrival back from the trip must be in time for attending any scheduled rehearsal for which he/she is required.
 
           Unforeseen "emergency" conflicts (weather delays, missed flights, etc.) are not acceptable reasons for missing a mandatory rehearsal.  One should endeavor to build in needed contingency time for such problems.  Period.

         An acceptable emergency during the Mandatory Rehearsal period would involve grave bodily injury to the student or a member of his immediate family.  Period.

What should a parent do if the emergency or illness occurs during the Mandatory Rehearsal period?

          Consider the commitment and whether or not the situation can be remedied in order for your student to attend rehearsal.  Then, call Mr. Wolfe and speak to him directly using his cell phone number.  If a parent "calls in sick" for a student and is found to be covering up for some other plans, the student will be released of his responsibilities in the show and his/her part will be recast.  (This outrageous offense has actually happened several times and the directors followed through on their policy of releasing the student -- every time.)

          Costume fittings are sessions with the costume designer in which measurements are taken, costumes are fitted, adjustments are made, etc.  The fittings are can vary in time blocks but are usually 20-30 minutes long.  Held during rehearsals and on the weekends before tech week, time allotments are made via lottery except in cases where the costume designer or cast member arranges with the Stage Manager before time.

          Those students with transportation needs will get priority to attend with a cast member with whom he can car pool.  

         All company members need to be at technical rehearsals because it is a matter of SAFETY above all else.  Lots of moving pieces are literally coming together.  Changes in their rehearsed blocking may be made to accommodate a technical aspect.  With all of these changes happening in a VERY DARK room, the backstage traffic patterns become as choreographed as any dance number on stage.  If a student is not cognizant of shifts that could affect their safe passage around and behind the stage, we would be negligent in teaching a basic aspect of theatrical production, not to mention complicit in any injury.

        Dismissal time for tech week will only vary if we get done before the appointed time posted on the Calendar.  We will never go beyond the published time out of consideration for one's entire family's bedtimes.  

          If you have a SENIOR auditioning, PLEASE re-read the following paragraphs:

          A Hannon Theatre tradition dating back to years prior to our current Artistic Director's tenure, is Senior Paint Night.  

         After our semi-annual dress rehearsal the night before Preview Night, senior cast members are invited to stay after the rest of the cast has gone home and help the Technical Director, the Construction Director, and the Scenic Designer  put the finishing touches on the floors of the stage and the surrounding seating area.  The Artistic Director is too old to supervise this night anymore.

          Before our any audience comes in to see the show, cleaning up needs to happen, and the last element -- the floor -- needs to be painted.  Paint needs to dry.  And on top of that, for the kinds of punishment the floor gets with tapping feet and moving casters, the paint needs to cure.  Although we use special theatrical deck paint designed for this very purpose, it must be done so that it has at least sixteen hours of rest.  Hence, Senior Paint Night.  

       This event is completely OPTIONAL, and we require parents give permission to have their seniors stay behind for about an hour or more after rehearsal -- perhaps taking their dismissal past midnight.  This permission requirement is regardless of age.  Because a student is 18 does not exempt them from parental consent.  There will be a quick Google form posted online that parents can fill out indicating their approval  -- or their desire to have their student sent home at the normal dismissal time.  All parental requests will be honored.  To help us support the speediness of the event, we hope you will instruct your senior to behave seriously and work diligently rather than being frivolous and creating havoc.

         Any senior who participates needs to bring "paint clothes" and old shoes for that night which more than likely will be ruined by paint spatters.  The directors will not be supervising what a student is wearing and cannot guarantee their will be paint clothes to borrow.  

          If you have an UNDERCLASSMAN auditioning, PLEASE re-read the following paragraph:

       For underclassmen who depend on seniors for their car pool, they may need to make other arrangements for a ride home on that night.  Underclassmen are not allowed to stay and wait for their senior ride home.  Many times, a senior will not stay in order to be helpful to the underclassmen car pool.  But we tell participating seniors days ahead to make sure they've cleared all prior commitments in order to participate.  

          Strike is the post-production activity of returning and sorting costumes, dismantling the set, and any other activity related to preparing the theatre for the next production.  Strike usually is held on the Monday and Tuesday following the last performance from 2:30-6pm and is mandatory for all company members.  Please note that Thanksgiving plans for travel must be included on the Conflict Rehearsal Form prior to casting or students will be required to attend Strike in the same manner as any other rehearsal or performance day.  

          The problem with Strike is that it is anti-climactic for students.  And it involves cleaning up.  And it, by nature, involves students to be motivated to work together to get things done.  We have tried all kinds of ways to "make the medicine go down"  with all kinds of "spoonfuls of sugar."  The main carrot we have is that Strike could get done early and we could cancel the next day or days.

            I hope you could support us in making it "mandatory."   We can't put things away magically and we can really use the help.  The one big problem is that some parents don't really think it is necessary for everyone to show up because the show is over.  What kind of punishment can we give when they don't show up?   Please help us teach a lesson about commitment and discipline by mandating your student does his part.  

          Photography, videography, or recording of any kind during a performance is strictly prohibited.  Loyola High School enters into contracts with those licensing agents that hold the intellectual property rights for its plays and musicals.   The standard agreement we make is that we will only take photos with one professional photographer.  Due to the nature of today's cameras, without that assurance, no one can guarantee a video was not made.  Since some shows strictly prohibit video-taping of non-professional productions or charge an additional, exorbitant fee for the rights to do so, we cannot allow individuals in the audience taking pictures.  If any bootleg video shows up on YouTube or some other online site, we could be held liable for a not enforcing this rule and could suffer a considerable penalty.

          To ensure everyone has keepsake pictures, each cast member and his parents are given access to the online folder of production stills taken by a professional photographer (covered in the cast fee).  

          Relatives or friends who do take pictures during the performance will be removed from the theatre and will be asked not to return. No kidding.  It's that serious.

           Students may not host a company party for his/her castmates during tech week or the performance weeks.
Neither students nor their parents are allowed to host parties for the entire or partial company in their homes or at any other location.  No parties.  No parties.

          Parents are urged to prohibit any student from planning, hosting, or attending any party which takes place after technical rehearsals or performances.

          The practical reasoning for such a restriction is as follows:  High school students are developmentally unable to assess their own level of fatigue. Because they are on an adrenaline high after a tech rehearsal or performance, they often mistake that temporary euphoria for the ability to function at their maximum potential, when in fact they are operating with depleted energy and concentration skills. Rest should be encouraged vehemently to ensure their safety and to allow for them to recuperate for the next performance.  

          The legal reason is that you don't want to incur the liability risk by having such a party at your house or elsewhere.  Depending on the situation, you could be putting yourself and your student in danger of being civilly or criminally at fault for any unfortunate events that might happen under your care.

          Cast parties are fun, and we hate to be such wet blankets.  So, to offset this rule, a company gathering at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles after the first Friday night performance is optional.  (Parents are also invited to attend -- as long as they sit apart from the kids!)  

         Also, after the final performance,  one of two options is allowable.  1. A single company party is held in the theatre including closing ceremonies, a dance, and pizza.  The Artistic Director supplies the pizza and the space. 2.  The Theatre Council (elected positions among the cast) plans another outing after the last show.
 

There is a cast fee of $150.00 due and payable by the deadline of October 1, 2019. In order to use the funds, that day is the due date for submittal to the Loyola Treasurer's Office.

The fee pays for four  things:  A company tee shirt, access to the online folder of professional photographs, all of the meals during our Company Dinner evenings, and a small dry cleaning and laundry fee for each performer's costumes.  

The cast fee is non-refundable should one quit the HTC Cast or if one is asked to leave the HTC Cast. The check should be made out to Loyola High School and NOT Hannon Theatre.

           All cast members, boys and girls alike, will be responsible for procuring their own theatrical makeup kit.  A "Ben Nye" Creme Makeup student kit is available from many online vendors for about $20.00. Each student kit should last a performer at least one production period.  There are better values for larger kits that will last longer, but they are not required.  We use Ben Nye Creme Makeup exclusively.  It is designed for the theatre and Ben Nye basically has a monopoly on moderately priced theatrical makeup.  Department store makeup is not the same.
   

           Everything but standard-issue theatrical shoes and socks will be provided. Cast members are required to provide basic footwear for both rehearsal and performance.   

         Girls need "character shoes."   Character shoes can cost about $70.00.  But as they are not shoes girls would wear outside of the theatre, most pairs of character shoes last young ladies their entire career in Hannon Theatre.

           Men's shoes do not need to be expensive.  Thrift stores are wonderful resources for old fashioned Oxford shoes.  Shined up a bit, they are perfect for both rehearsal and performance.   With the right kind of sanitizer spray, any old pair of broken-in, black Oxfords will work just fine and may even be good-looking enough to use on stage.  Theatre people adhere to the "30-Foot Rule" where if something looks good from the audience's perspective, then it is perfect

            Specialty footwear will be paid for out of our costume budget and will go into costume storage after the production.  No one will ever be asked to pay for something that is specific to only one person.  Any specialty footwear a student would like to keep after a performance can be purchased.

          Actors are also required to supply personal costume items including but not limited to black socks, hard-soled shoes, and the necessary and appropriate undergarments.

1.   Toiletries, and Personal Care Items
      To accompany the theatrical make-up mentioned earlier, make-up remover (baby shampoo followed by a moisturizer is recommended), a towel, and any other bathroom hygiene materials will need to be supplied by the student.

2.  Materials to keep occupied during down-time. (i.e. schoolwork). Electronic devices of any kind (laptop, tablet, cell phone) are prohibited during show time.  

3.  Bathrobe/Cover-up
          When not onstage, your performer should be handling his/her costumes with special care.  Costumes should never leave the theatre and a robe should be worn over to completely cover the costume during eating or drinking periods.  

4.  Fines
           Costumes or costume pieces left on the floor and/or not returned to their proper place each night are collected nightly and may be returned to their owners for a $1 fee per costume piece.

         On nights where we are in the theatre past 9:00, we have a catered meal delivered to the lobby by our wonderful Loyola Kitchen Staff.    There are a few nights prior which we call BYOD: Bring Your Own Dinner.  Students are required to "brown bag" a dinner for themselves.  No deliveries will be allowed.

          If your student has food-related needs such as gluten-intolerance or nut allergies, please indicate it below and on the Consent to Treatment form.  Our Executive Chef tries to accommodate where he can -- and there is always a lettuce salad that he provides.

          Students will need to turn in two forms via the website and one form as a hard copy.  

1.  The Cast Information Form is available on the Auditions Information page online.  It is a Google Form (much like this one) and will serve to collect all pertinent demographic information.  The Information form also asks students to sign a statement of commitment to the program.  

2.  As discussed earlier, the Rehearsal Conflict Form is perhaps the most important document in ensuring a successful rehearsal process for everyone.  Students are asked to fill out the form conscientiously by listing all of the days on which they have a prior commitment and whether they will be absent for the entire rehearsal, whether they will arrive late, or whether they will need to leave early.  

          The parent's role in filling out this form is to ensure that it is complete with all of the prior commitments for your family listed clearly and accurately.  

          These first two forms may be completed online in the Google Form documents created for that purpose.  The links to these documents are on the Audition Information Page.   The following document must be turned in as a hard copy.

3.  The Consent to Treatment Form is the essential form that allows your student to participate.  A signed form includes all of a student's medical insurance information.  All Consent Forms will go into a binder which we call "the bible." Should some unfortunate injury occur during rehearsal or a performance, this form allows Mr. Wolfe to ride with a student to the hospital in an ambulance and act as the student's guardian until such a time that the student's parent can arrive on the scene and take over.  Over the last twenty-three years, Mr. Wolfe has needed to take a student to the hospital merely three times.  Two were panic attacks, the other was an asthma attack.  However, these forms proved invaluable in getting the afflicted student the care he needed as quickly as possible.

          The three forms need to be completed by 7:00 pm on September 5.  

          Here is a primer on how to have your relatives behave at a production.

         Please have a look if necessary:
