WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW MOST?
ORIENTATION IS ON MARCH 29 AT THE START OF REHEARSALS (11 am). IT IS MANDATORY THAT A PARENT ATTEND THE ORIENTATION MEETING. FORMS (see below) SHOULD BE COMPLETED BEFOREHAND AND BROUGHT TO ORIENTATION WITH THE FEES (see below).
Performing at the McCallum Theatre is NOT available to many students in the Valley. Participation in this production should be viewed by cast and parents alike as the incredible opportunity that it is. Sacrifices of time and other desired activities should be expected in return. As should compliance with ALL REQUIREMENTS! The end result will be worth it!
Participants will not be cast if they are not fully available ALL of Memorial Day Weekend and through the Show days. Memorial Day itself has no show-related activity so local barbecuing would be okay. Be mindful of other Mandatory dates on the calendar as well.
Excessive absences and tardiness will not be tolerated;
Nor will refusal to do the necessary work in a timely manner for an extraordinary production.
IS THERE A COST INVOLVED?
Yes. There is a $75 non-refundable materials fee that is due at Orientation. There is also a requirement to sell 10 tickets ($20 each). These must be paid for by April 19 but as you sell your tickets you retain the money up to the amount you paid to CPP. If both the materials fee and the pre-bought tickets are paid at orientation, there is a $20 discount.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Anyone from 5 to 18 that is willing and able to understand the above points and follow directions.
Older actors can be considered for non-principle roles.
