FAQs:
- Do you accept HOPE Scholarship?
- Yes! We are very excited to be an approved Education Service Provider with WV Hope Scholarship. You will have an opportunity to select Hope Scholarship as a separate registration type, and payment will be handled via the Hope Scholarship Marketplace.
- Am I required to drop off for rehearsals or am I able to stay with my child?
- We do require that parents drop off for auditions and rehearsals unless there is an extenuating circumstance discussed ahead of time. Our program exists not only to foster creativity, but also to teach independence, team work, and leadership skills. We have found that our children and staff are able to focus more on the production and creative process when we do not have extra people in the theatre. There are several local businesses downtown that you may want to check out while you’re in the area if you’d prefer to stay close by!
- Do you have safety & security processes in place?
- Yes! Our theatre doors stay locked at all times during rehearsals. In addition, we are required by law to review emergency procedures with each cast including fire drills, etc. All staff are background checked and we will require all parent volunteers to receive background checks as well. The safety of your kids is our biggest priority!
- What is the time commitment for this program?
- Rehearsals are mandatory and actors are permitted to miss no more than 3 unexcused. We understand things come up, and are happy to be flexible if needed for illnesses, emergencies, etc. Attendance is vital to our production regardless of the role you receive, we all work together to make the production great!
- What additional costs will there be for the program?
- You will have a costume fee of up to $75 and will be required to purchase tickets if you’d like to see the show. There will also be opportunities to buy additional t-shirts for family members.
- Are there opportunities for parents to volunteer?
- YES! We love volunteers and will be calling on our families for help with set build, costumes, supervision, ushers, cast party, etc! More information will be announced for sign-ups after the program starts!
