26-27 Drama Parent Responsibility Form

indicates a required answer

We strive to produce a high quality production that both LAH and the broader Lebanon area community will enjoy.  To create such an experience requires many hands, a lot of dedication, and a substantial amount of funds.  Drama families are expected to willingly and cheerfully participate by selling ads, volunteering, and assisting in building sets.  Additionally, all families are required to have a parent volunteer to accept a specific parent job which is necessary to accomplish the goal of a quality production.

Please type your initials next to the commitments listed below and then type in your name and date at the bottom.
By doing so, you accept this form and its conditions and the typed initials and name serve as your legal signature.
1. *

I realize I am enrolling my child (children) in the LAH production of Maxwell, P.I.

I also realize that it will require a commitment of memorization, scheduled practice, and final performances of April 8 & 9. 
2. *

A $100/student deposit is required on audition day and is refundable at the end of the season if the student has completed the drama season and raised at least $100 through ad sales or fundraising.  This is normally fairly easy to earn back by selling tickets, ads, and helping with fundraisers, but is surrendered if the student fails to complete the drama season. If the child is not cast a part in the play, the check will be returned uncashed. 

Once the cast list has been revealed the deposit is in effect and if the student does not finish the season for any reason, the $100 is not refunded and the check is cashed. If the deposit is not paid at the time of auditions, the actor will not be cast in the production.  
3. *

I understand that it is possible not all auditioning actors will receive a part. Actors not being cast may have the opportunity to assist with backstage positions based on need, ability, and approval of the backstage manager. If your child is not cast as part of the main production, would you allow them to participate as part of the backstage production team?

(Backstage team schedule may vary depending on position - for example, set building days are usually 2-3 Saturdays around February and the entirety of the Civic Center days.  Additionally, there are limited posititions backstage and it is possible that our backstage manager may not request your student's assistance.)

 
Yes, my child can assist with a backstage position if not part of the cast. No, if my child is not part of the cast they will not be part of the backstage team.
4. *

I will ensure transportation to all rehearsals and performances including ALL Civic Center practices.  I understand rehearsals are not optional and all are required.  I understand that punctuality is important and that my student will need to be in the building and signed in before the start time. If we do not attend a rehearsal it will be because we have prior authorization from the director. Print it here.

6. *

I will encourage my child to learn their part and work with a willing and submissive spirit with the parent volunteers.
7. *

In addtion to the previous statement, I will encourage my student(s) to treat our costume and hair/makeup team with the upmost respect. While opinions will be considered, the leadership team will have the final say. Due to the harsh stage lights ALL actors and actresses will be required to wear at least basic makeup like foundation and mascara for the production. Please contact the director prior to auditons with questions or concerns
8. *

I understand LAH Drama is run by parent volunteers and I will fulfill my role as a parent volunteer. For a smooth and enjoyable production, this includes working under directors and producers and with other parents in a respectful and Christ-like manner. Our family must also be considered in good standing with all departments of the Lebanon Area Homeschool organization (athletics, Shared Learning, field trips, etc) That is, if there is a problem elsewhere within the organization, the issues must first be worked out in that area in order to also be in good standing with drama.
