POLICIES

Audition Policy

Students are not guaranteed any one particular role they audition for in class. Roles are cast in such a way to benefit the overall production and each director has final say on the final cast of his/her show. Students who choose to drop the program simply because they did not like the role they were cast in, will not be allowed to register for any future Kids Take The Stage class or program. All casting is final.

Dress Policy

Each student should come to class wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, as our curriculumn involves a great deal of movement and blocking. All students MUST wear closed toed shoes (absolutely no flip flops or high heeled shoes) and never go barefoot in the rehearsal hall or theater arena. Sharing of clothes with other students is prohibited, especially the sharing of hats, hair pieces, bobby pins, etc...

Any clothing which displays vulgar language or depicts questionable imagery should not be worn.

Sign In/Out Policy

Kids Take The Stage takes safety very serious and each student is required to have a legal guardian sign them in and out after each class. Failure to do so may result in the child not being permitted to take part in the class. Students over the age of 15 may sign themselves in and out with a typed note from their parent or guardian with a valid signature.

Mutual Respect Policy

Each KTTS student must treat one another with mutual respect and dignity. Any hitting, name calling, profanity or slurs will not be tolerated and the student will be ask to leave class immediately.

Tuition Policy

All tuition for Kids Take The Stage classes must be paid in full prior to the first class meeting. If full tuition has not been paid prior to the first class meeting, the student will not be allowed to participate in class.

Waivers & Emergency Contact Forms

ALL students must sign a Student Waiver form and fill out completely our Emergency contact sheet. Before a child can begin rehearsal with us these items must be completed.
