Los Gatos High School Stage Production Code of Conduct

Participation in theatre productions at Los Gatos High School is a privilege extended to the student body by the Board of Trustees of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. Students choosing to participate in any stage productions act as representatives of the district and the school. Students are expected to conduct themselves in such a manner as to exceed the highest standards of Los Gatos High School at all times. 

The code of conduct is specifically designed to establish high expectations and guidelines for all participating student-performers and crew members. Staff and school administrators will enforce this code of conduct, based upon the principles of honoring the performance. Student-performers and crew members will show respect for self, fellow students, school, staff, and administrators at all times.

Los Gatos High School student-performers and crew members who fail to abide by the code of conduct are subject to disciplinary action. Rule enforcement will be consistent and immediate. School officials are not expected to police off-campus or non-school related activities. Each staff may add additional, individual rules.  These rules may include, but are not limited to attendance at practice, curfew, personal appearance, and personal conduct. 

The following guidelines have been established as expectation of all student-performers and crew. Failure or violation may result in removal from the show and dismissal from participating in future LGHS performances.

We will be selecting 2 rehearsal captains this year.  If you would like to be considered for this role please write a paragraph or two as to why you would make a good captain.  We are looking for student leaders who can help with rehearsals and act as mentors for members of the cast.  Rehearsal captains should attend all rehearsals and take roll, take minutes, and copy down any notes or concerns that arise in rehearsal onto a rehearsal report for which a template will be provided.

 

Each cast member or family member is expected to provide at least 20 volunteer hours to the production.

I have read the code of conduct, as well as the rehearsal requirements, and I agree to follow and uphold the principles and requirements set forth.

Rehearsal Conflicts

Rehearsals will be Monday-Friday 2:30 on Black (even) days and 3:55 on Orange (odd) days. We may also rehearse a few Saturdays. All cast and crew will be required to attend every rehearsal during the tech and dress rehearsals which are March 6-23 and all performances which are March 24-25 and March 30-April 1.

Conflicts that are not listed on this form will be cause for removal from the production. It is extremly important to list all conflicts. The reheasal calendar will be made based on this info and will be very difficult to make changes later.

If you are cast in the show you will be expected to make the nessesary changes to your schedules in order to be at rehearsals. If you miss up to three rehearsals in which you are scheduled or did not have listed as a conflict you will be removed from the production.

Students with 3 unexcused absences will be assigned an understudy for their role, and students with 5 unexcused absences will be dropped from the show.

Students who are consistently disruptive in rehearsal will be asked to leave, and this will count as an unexcused absence.

Please use the Other field to list any sports, jobs, important notes, or info you want us to know about.

List all conflicts with the dates and start and end times.(Babysitting, Dr's Appointments, Jobs, Vacations, Tutoring, Sports, Dance, Classes, etc...)

I would like to help out on crew. (tech crew will be meeting a couple of hours each week.  Tech crew will be required to attend all rehearsals during tech week.)

Please select what type of role you would like to be considered for.

We will base our casting decisions on this.  For example: if you check Principal Role only, and you do not get it, you will not be cast at all.  

Rehearsal Captain: Rehearsal captains should attend all rehearsals and take roll, take minutes, and copy down any notes or concerns that arise in rehearsal onto a rehearsal report for which a template will be provided.
