MEDIA RELEASE

The Good Times Community Theatre League periodically receives attention from various media asking to take photographs and/or video of events, rehearsals and programs.  This exposure is a great benefit to Good Times as a whole, and brings understanding of the critical need for the arts in our area. We ourselves take pictures and/or video to use on our website, Facebook page, and other social media; and in our camp videos, press releases, flyers, and various other forms of advertising.  

We need your permission, or in the case of a minor, a legal guardian’s permission, to do these things. We ask you that read and respond to the information below.  If you choose not to grant permission, this will in no way affect your opportunity or any child’s opportunity to participate in Good Times Community Theatre productions or events. 

SAFE THEATRE POLICY (ANTI-HARASSMENT)

Good Times Community Theatre League is committed to providing a safe and harassment-free environment for its members, volunteers, community partners, and board of directors. Our organization refers to “harassment” as unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy), national origin, age. While GTCTheatre is committed to handling all forms of harassment as quickly as possible, we do know that it is impossible to provide a document that outlines repercussions for every form of harassment. Due to the complex nature and ever-fluid definition of the term “harassment,” the following sub-policis have been established in an attempt to mitigate any form of harassment that may happen throughout our organization. While these sub-policies exist, the currently sitting board of directors reserves the right to handle all harassment cases brought to them on a case by case basis. This policy can, and will, be updated as deemed neccasary according to the GTCTheatre Board of Directors.

(1) Complaint Policy

All forms of harassment must be reported in order to ensure that sufficient attempts of resolution are made on behalf of GTCTheatre. We have established a 3 step escalation hierarchy to handle all harassment cases.
1) If a member of our organization feels they are being harassed, a verbal complaint may be brought to the Director(s) of the current production. The Director(s) reserve the right to resolve the issue as they see fit. 2) If a member of our organization feels they are still being harassed after a verbal complaint has been made to the Director(s) of the current production, a formal complaint may be brought to the Director(s) of the current production. A formal complaint form can be retrieved from our website or by request. This form must be completed and turned in to the Director(s) of the current production. The Director(s) reserve the right to resolve the issue as they see fit. A summary of the resolution must be added to the formal complaint and submitted to the sitting board of directors for retention purposes. 3) If a member of our organization feels they are still being harassed after a formal complaint has been filed, a formal complaint may be submitted to the sitting board of directors. Depending on the severity of the complaint, resolution will be determined through special meeting, or at a regularly scheduled board meeting.

 
(2) Infraction Retention Policy

Repeated harassment will not be tolerated by the Good Times Community Theatre League organization. The sitting board of directors reserves the right to apply any stipulations to a member who is known to be a repeat offender. However, due to our current non-existent nature of harassment, a retention policy will not be put in place until the time such a system is required. The sitting board of directors reserves the right to update this policy as time progresses.

(3) Base Layer Costume Policy

Good Times Community Theatre is open to every member of our community regardless of age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. To ensure the comfort and protection of our members, a policy will be established to ensure cast members should be covered at all times during performances. A BASE LAYER of clothing to be worn under the participants costume so that during costume changes backstage they are never naked. We do not have access to private dressing rooms, so this provides a way for everyone to change costumes backstage. 

(4) Dressing Room Policy

Good Times Community Theatre is open to every member of our community regardless of age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. To ensure the comfort and protection of our members, Good Times is committed to providing up to 3 dressing rooms during productions requiring more than one costume change. Dressing room designations will include: (1) Male, (1) Female, and (1) Unisex affixed with private changing stalls. In addition to backstage dressing rooms, quick change stalls may be requested by any actor on a production-by-production basis. Actors requesting an off stage quick change stall must give the director at least 48 hour notice to comply.

(5) No Phone/Camera Policy

Good Times Community Theatre will maintain a strict no photos in dressing rooms policy. This includes (but is not limited to) times of rehearsal, pre-performance, performance, and post-performance. Directors reserve the right to allow phone usage during productions, however directors do not reserve the right to allow usage inside dressing rooms. If phone usage is allowed during a performance, designated “safe zones” should be established prior to production.
