AFHS THEATRE PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT
Participants in AFHS Theatre's production of 9 to 5: The Musical have been cast in an acting role or assigned to a crew position of responsibility. The success of this production depends on adherence to the following:
Directors Commitment:
-
Directors will draw from their education, knowledge and experience to produce a quality production. Directors will guide students in their roles, and utilize student abilities and talents wherever possible.
-
Directors will treat each student and each student's parent/guardians with respect. Casting and crew selections are made based on the student's ability to perform their role as assessed during open auditions and interviews, and are not based on age, appearance, seniority, race, gender, or identity. Prior experience and a student's character may figure into the selection process but are not selection criteria in and of themselves. Directors will discuss an individual's selection directly with that individual on request.
-
Directors will provide a safe, inclusive working environment for cast and crew to the best of their ability.
-
Directors understand that participation in an AFHS Theatre production is an extracurricular activity and that academics come first. Directors will clearly communicate rehearsal and crew schedules using the proper channels for communication, i.e. Remind and the Call Board. Directors will adhere to posted rehearsal and crew call start and end times to the best of their ability. Any schedule
-
changes will be clearly communicated
-
Directors will be available to respond to student questions and concerns during regular school and rehearsal hours. Directors will reply to communication from students and parents and guardians in a timely manner, within the parameters of normal working hours.
Student Commitment:
-
I agree to attend all rehearsals and crew commitments for which I am scheduled. It is my responsibility to check the rehearsal and crew calendar frequently for any updates. I will remain at rehearsal or crew assignment until it is completed or I am excused. I am responsible for communicating my schedule to my parents/guardian.
-
If I must miss a rehearsal or crew commitment for any reason, I will personally contact the Director and SM team prior to the beginning of the rehearsal. I will make the Directors aware of any scheduled absences as well as unplanned absences. If I do not notify the Director of absences in a timely manner, or if excessive absences interfere with my ability to fulfill my role, I understand that my role may be recast or reassigned at the Director's discretion. The Directors will use their judgment to review extenuating circumstances. *SEE ATTENDANCE POLICY BELOW
