Yes! To ensure all children get the most out of the program we do ask parents/guardians to help us with the following.
Ensure your child is available to attend all classes, rehearsals and productions. This doesn’t include if your child is unwell.
We take a lot of careful consideration when casting the children and placing them into a role where we know they will learn and thrive. We would appreciate your support on our casting decisions.
To ensure the students are as confident as they can be for the performance we ask for your support in learning lines at home.
We would appreciate your help promoting the show, where you can, so that the children can experience performing to a full, lively audience!
-
Attendance is required for all classes, rehearsals, and performances to not only help your child feel ready and confident for the performance but to help the whole class feel ready and confident (theatre is a team effort!). However, if you already know your child would need to miss one class during the school term, please contact us before enrolling your child and we can let you know.
