  • Rehearsal Conflicts & Absence Policy

    All cast may not be called to every rehearsal; this form allows us to be aware of all possible conflicts. Cast members must attend all show week dress rehearsals and performances. Please note this is NOT a final rehearsal schedule. Putting together a show takes lots of work from EVERYONE in the cast. First Act has a strict and clearly defined Absence Policy in order to protect our shows and guarantee that they will be successful. Please understand that being cast in a show is a commitment and privilege!

  • First Act’s Attendance Policy is as follows:

    1. All cast members AND parents must review the show conflict form and sign off on it prior to auditioning.
    2. An unexcused absence is defined as the following: any absence from a rehearsal not indicated on the conflict sheet at the time of auditions for any reason other than sickness or family emergency. Please note that absences communicated AFTER the cast list has been posted will be considered unexcused unless they are for sickness or family emergency. 
    3. All attendance issues, including when a student will miss rehearsal, is sick, or is running late, MUST be communicated to the Production Coordinator. 
    4. Students who arrive more than 30 minutes past their call time may receive an unexcused absence.
    5. When a student has 2 unexcused absences, the directing team reserves the right to remove that student from a scene or song in the show.
    6. When a student has 3 unexcused absences, they may be dropped from the show. Any appeals must be made to the Director of Artistic Productions.
    7. Any student with 5 or more absences (~25% of the rehearsal process) listed on their conflict sheet will not be considered for a lead role in the show.
    8. Tech Week Absences (starting on Move-in Sunday and continuing until the close of the show) are only allowed with prior approval from the Director of Artistic Productions at the time of auditions. Without prior approval, First Act reserves the right to remove said student from the show.
    9. If a student misses a performance, they will be immediately removed from the show and will not perform in the remainder of the production. Sickness and Family Emergency are exceptions to this rule.
    10. Please note: multiple unexcused absences may affect future casting opportunities.

    Your initials below indicate that both the student auditioning and their parent/guardian have read and reviewed the absence policy.
