Dear Cast & Parents,
Congratulations on making Willly Wonka. The talent was impressive and the competition for all
parts was fierce. We had a very hard time casting this show, and we feel confident in the decisions
that we made.
We ALL need to work together to make this all possible and to make this show a wonderful
success. Each cast member was put in this show for your talent, responsibility, and dedication to the
stage.
Everyone is expected to follow the rules below. Please read this and discuss the commitment
together. Sign the bottom and return, Wednesday, February 5th 2016.

Expectations:
 BEHAVIOR: First and foremost, you are EXPECTED to behave. Any inappropriate behavior
towards any student or staff is an immediate dismissal from the musical.
 REHEARSALS: You must be at every rehearsal you are called for. Follow the schedule carefully.
If you miss 3 rehearsals with no previous notice, you will be asked to leave the cast. If there is
an emergency, I just ask that I am made aware of your absence so I can arrange for it in
rehearsal. Please email me at Kimberly.warren@lz95.org . Unless you are absent from school
that day, you need to be at rehearsal. To be at rehearsal, you must be at school for at least a
half a day. Everyone is expected to check the rehearsal schedule on the Drama Board (in the
music/drama hallway) or online at my website. A schedule will always be posted on the
drama call board and on my website
http://www.lz95.net/mss/faculty/kwarren/spring_play.html
 RESPONSIBILITY: Cast members are expected to be in their appropriate rehearsal space AT
2:30 ready to work. Cast members are expected to know all lines and blocking for the show.
You MUST keep up on your homework and grades. This play is NOT an excuse to get out of
anything. When you are not on stage, you are encouraged to do your school work. If you miss
a rehearsal due to a detention, that is NOT an excused absence from rehearsal.
 SCHEDULE: You must be on time, and must be picked up promptly. Please be picked up at the
time posted on the rehearsal schedule. Please be aware that staff has to stay until the last child is
picked up. Repeated failure to pick up on time (2 or more times) will result in dismissal from the
show.
