Mary Poppins Company Contract

Read and initial each of the following statements. Then sign at the bottom of the form and also
have a parent sign it.
1. _____ I will attend all required rehearsals and arrive in a timely fashion. I am permitted to
miss no more than 2 rehearsals. If I miss a 3rd rehearsal, I understand that my part may be
recast. (This may even be the case for illness. Consistently missing rehearsals hurts the
production and your fellow cast members are counting on you to be present.)
2. _____ If I know in advance I will miss a rehearsal, I will notify Ms. McFadden in writing. This
paper will have the date I will be missing, why I will be missing, and my name.
3. _____ I will know my lines and/or music, choreography, and blocking by the deadlines. If I do
not, I will receive one warning that I have 24 hours to learn my material. If I do not meet this
requirement or I continue upon new deadlines to not be prepared, then my part may be recast.
4. _____ I will show respect to ALL people involved in the production. If at any point I speak
disrespectfully, play on my phone or iPod during rehearsal, or speak ill of others, I will be given
one warning. If it happens again, my part may be recast.
5. _____ I will not post negative comments about theatre, music, or any of my peers or adults
involved in the production on any online format including Facebook or Twitter. Frustration
happens. We all get irritated. But this is a fundraising activity and negative comments hurt
profits. Buy a punching bag.
6. ____ I will pay a production fee of $75.00 to offset production costs and may need to provide
some of my own make-up/shoes/undergarments in addition to this. This cost can be reduced
through Parent/Guardian volunteer hours during Set Workshops or Parent/Guardian volunteer
hours through other production needs. Production Fee is due at the Read- Thru.
7. ____ I understand that the microphones, props, costumes, scripts, ect. should be treated with
the utmost care.
8. ____ I will clean up the rehearsal space and/or performance space (costumes, props, etc.)
before leaving each day.
9. ____ I will volunteer for at least 8 hours of TECH time that is not part of an assigned
rehearsal. (Saturday tech days would be an example of this time.) I will participate in striking the
set after the production ends.

11. ____ I understand that my behavior in all places at Walkersville High School and in social
media also reflects on the Theatre Program. I will strive to keep that in mind. I know that Ms.
McFadden expects me to maintain my grades, assignments turned in, and make behavior
choices that reflect PRIDE expectations.
12. ____ I understand that if I lose any of the show materials, particularly those being rented
from MTI that I will have to pay the replacement cost of $30.
13. ____ I understand that I must report on time to all call times and be prepared for rehearsal
(scripts/pencils/dance shoes, ect.)
14. ____ I understand that I must participate in all five show dates.
15. ____ I understand that information will be communicated through email, Remind, and
Google Classroom. I agree to frequently check the avenues of communication so that I am
informed.
I have read and understand the items listed above and agree to all of them. I understand that if I
fail to meet these expectations that I may lose my part in the show.

donations of drinks/snacks. Please indicate if you have food allergies/dietary restrictions that will
need to be considered.
