West Linn High School Theatre Arts PRODUCTION CONTRACT

I am excited for the opportunity to be involved in this valuable theatre experience. I realize that I am an important piece in a complex puzzle of actors, technicians, and staff and that for all of us to have a successful experience I must be willing to do my part. Therefore, I agree to the following:

• I will pay the $20 – MUSICAL, $10 – PLAY Costume Fee (for all items, give to PSM) and will make sure I have paid (clearance slip) the $225 school-required activity fee (good for the whole year).

• I will attend all scheduled rehearsals and will arrive on time. I will contact the director and/or production stage manager/assistant stage manager in advance about a NECESSARY absence or NECESSARY tardiness.

• I will take responsibility for scheduling a time with the director to make up for any

unexcused time I have missed. I understand that an absence from school or SINGLE class period due to illness or any other reason may prevent me from participating in rehearsal and/or performance, unless an administrator grants permission.

• I will not use my involvement in the show as an excuse for missing an academic class or

failing to complete class work.

• I will meet the school district’s academic requirement each semester during participation in the production. AND I will attend all classes knowing that if I don't, I will not be able to participate without admin approval.

• I understand the “no tolerance” policy regarding the use of drugs and alcohol and agree

not to use drugs or alcohol during my participation in the play. Any violation will result in the prescribed school consequences and removal from the show.

• I understand that attendance at all rehearsals and performances is essential for successful

and meaningful ensemble collaboration.

• According to my designated position within the ensemble, whether performer or technical crew, I agree to participate fully, meet deadlines, work cooperatively, and demonstrate a good attitude.

• I agree to abide my all the theatre safety rules and to always ask questions, whatever they

may be, if unsure about anything.

By signing this contract, I indicate that I am willing to abide by the guidelines as stated. I will sign and return one copy of the contract to the director and keep the other for my own records.
