All cast members will be asked to complete 16 hours of assigned workday duties (set construction, costuming, props, etc.). FMT is a community theatre, where we all participate in the behind-the-scenes making of the production in some way in addition to rehearsals and performance. Participation will be expected of all those cast. Workdays primarily occur on Saturdays; however, if you have a conflict with those days, additional assignments can be arranged. If children are cast, a parent or another designated adult will be expected to complete their required hours. (Your selection does not affect your casting.)
Cast members will be required to provide one or more volunteers for at least one performance to help out with either Box Office, Concessions, or Ushering. A signup link will be provided to the cast.
Parents of Children Cast members: It is our expectation that parents/guardians of children cast will share the responsibility of backstage monitoring of children groups during Tech Week and Performances. A schedule will be created for parent sign-up in to equitably share this responsibility.
