2 One Act Play 2015 Contract One Act Play is our competition show and requires an incredible amount of focus, dedication, and time on the part of the actors, technicians, and the director. Since this is our contest show, I expect total dedication from each member of the company. You must not only be dedicated to the show, but also maintain passing grades and appropriate behavior and school attendance. Failing grades and discipline referrals are grounds for dismissal from the One Act Company. The No pass No play UIL rule applies for One Act Play Contest and students who are failing a subject will be replaced in the show. It is imperative that All students maintain passing grades at ALL times! As with every show, in order to cover the cost of scripts and show shirts, a $20.00 production fee will be due by December 15 th the first day of rehearsal. During rehearsals I expect students to be focused on the show and only the show. No mp3 players, phones, etc should be used during rehearsal time. No phones will be allowed in the auditorium during rehearsals. You will only need your script, notebook paper and a pencil. We will have closed rehearsals, so no guests will be allowed without prior permission, friends and siblings that are not in the show may not stay unless special arrangements have been made in advance (not the day of). Students must have their scripts and a pencil at every rehearsal. Remember, if you are not contributing to the show, you are taking away from it. Attendance is mandatory: we must have every child at every rehearsal! Excused absences will be allowed for pre-approved events and emergences only! Excessive absences excused or not will be grounds for dismissal, there aren t many rehearsals when we return in January if you miss too many you will be replaced in the show. I can t stress enough or ask that parents and students work together to please fill out the conflict calendar carefully! Make sure ALL conflicts are listed on the calendar! Transportation: Every rehearsal will conclude at the same time unless otherwise stated. Please don t rely on your student to call or text to come pick them up. It will be the same time every time unless I ve ed you differently. *I m possibly moving rehearsals from starting at 3:30 and having them start at 4pm giving kids time to do homework and eat before rehearsal starts. This would make the rehearsal time 4-6. If you have any questions about this contract or anything during our rehearsal process, please feel free to contact me at school , or snorton@dentonisd.org. I will also give my cell phone to parents of cast members after the cast list is chosen. I have read and understand the expectations for the 2015 One Act Play Production.
