PARENT CONTRACT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF

 LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL
When a student accepts a role in a play or a position on a production crew, they have a serious
responsibility to all the others in the show. In order to be successful, the play needs the skills of everyone
involved. They are making a commitment to not only the department, but to every other person who is
working on this show. They will treat this as a job and they will follow the rules.

Parents: Please be aware of the following items:

 I understand that my student is not to miss practices for anything other than MAJOR reasons. There
are specific expectations that students are to meet, this includes being at practices when they are
supposed to be. I understand students were given an opportunity to write down all conflicts prior to
their audition.

 I understand that the closer we get to the actual production, the longer rehearsals will be. Students will
be asked to stay later than 5:15 when we get closer to the end of the performance.

 I understand that the week before the production (Called “Tech Week”) is essential and my student
MUST BE THERE and they must be able to stay until rehearsal is over (which may be later than 5:15)

 I understand that there will be 2 dress rehearsals and that they will probably not end until around 7:30
or later. I know that I must communicate with the director if there is a reason my child needs to leave
early.

 I understand that it is illegal to take pictures or video during the production. If you would like to do so,
you are welcome at any and all rehearsals and dress rehearsals.

 I understand that as per school rules, students must be at school no later than 12:00 in order participate
in after school activities. If a student is ill or misses school, they cannot participate in activities that
evening. This would include rehearsals and performances of the musical.

 I understand that anyone cast in the show may be required to pay the $40.00 fee by the end of January
2018 to participate in the production.

 I understand that my student’s actions may cause their removal from the show if they are misbehaving.

 I understand that if I decide to remove my student from the production, it will affect the entire cast and
potentially the crew. It would be best to inform the director prior to making the final decision to do so.
I also understand that the closer it gets to the production, the more detrimental this action would be to
the performance.

I have read and agree to these terms for my child:
