Godspell/Laramie Project Contract
In auditioning for a lead/ensemble role I, __________________________________,
agree to abide by the following provisions:
(name)
I understand that I am to be in attendance for all rehearsals that involve my
character. Additionally, I understand that each production has a rehearsal
schedule and that I must adhere to this schedule.
I also realize the
director(s) reserve the right to call additional rehearsals, if needed. Moreover,
I realize that if I miss a rehearsal, I will receive a warning and run the risk of
not being blocked in a particular scene. Casting will depend on the information
I give the director(s) on the calendar.
I understand that I am not excused from any rehearsals/performances during
production week (April 22-24, May 20-22). I also understand that this is a
high school production and the dates of the production may be changed!
I understand that I am not allowed to participate in another musical or play
during the rehearsal process of Godspell or the Laramie Project
I understand that I must help strike the set; I must also stay and continue to
work until the strike is finished. Attendance will be taken at the conclusion of
the strike, and I understand that students who are absent or leave early will
not be cast in another production.
I agree to respect my fellow cast members, crew members, stage manager,
and the director(s). Showing my respect includes not only my behavior at
rehearsals/performances, but also learning my lines by due dates and being in
attendance and prompt to rehearsals. Failure to show respect to others
involved in the production will result in a warning or replacement.
Parents will be notified when I receive a second warning.
Additional
infractions will warrant a dismissal. I realize that the principal and director(s)
will review the record before dismissing a cast member. The director(s) also
have the right to execute alternative disciplinary methods throughout the
rehearsal period.
I understand that when casting decisions are made, they are based partly on
physical looks and that changing my appearance (e.g. haircut/color) after
auditions must be approved by the creative team. I also realize that I may
have to change my appearance to fulfill the director(s)’ artistic vision. Failure
to do so will result in my replacement.
I understand that I cannot skip school on a rehearsal or performance night.
School attendance is mandatory to rehearse and to perform.
I realize that I must pass all subjects to perform. Failure to meet satisfactory
academic standards will result in immediate replacement.
I realize that I must commit to the director(s)’ vision of the text. Recreating
the script for personal gain will result in a theatre department expulsion.
Finally, I realize that I must pay a $100 production fee for Godspell and The
Laramie Project!.
