REHEARSAL PROTOCOLS:

This is a 60 minute class which will cover singing, dancing, acting, and foundational Shakespeare technique. The class will perform one musical theatre song and a piece of Shakespeare text in the recital at the end of the year. Students will need to wear comfortable clothing and shoes they can move in to each rehearsal.

 

ATTENDANCE EXPECTATIONS:

We want you to stay home if you don’t feel well. We will always work to be as  flexible as possible in accommodating make-up classes for any student who  stays home from class due to illness.
 

That being said, please try to let us know if you’re going to be away. Especially  after we come back from the winter break in January, all teachers are starting to  prepare the class for their various end-of-year performances. Consistent  rehearsals are the best way to combat stage fright! Theatre really is a team sport, and having people on stage who have missed a  lot of rehearsal is stressful for everyone involved. We don’t want our  performances to be a stressful experience, we want them to be a fun and  triumphant experience! So please try to let your teacher know what’s going on if  you have to be away so they can make a plan to include your child in the  performance in a way they can handle.

 

As such, if you have to  miss more than three days of class, it  will be up to the teacher’s discretion whether or not the student can still  participate in the performance.  Attendance at all dress rehearsals and performances is mandatory in order to participate in the recital.

 

ADDITIONAL FEES:

There is a $40 + HST Costume Fee billed in the Winter which covers costume use.

 

There is a $40 + HST Photo Fee billed in the Winter which covers photography for students participating in recital.

 

The show will be filmed on an iPhone and the footage will be made available at no cost.

 

Tickets to the final performance are $15 + fees + HST each.
