ECT ROLE ACCEPTANCE

Please read through the following and fill in required forms

ECT AGREEMENTS

COMMITMENT & EXPECTATIONS: As with any group activity, every participant has responsibilities. Please look over the following items to make sure you and your child feel you can honor the commitment to being a part of a show.

Students are expected to attend all rehearsals they are called for unless prior approval has been given. Failure to do so can result in dismissal from the show. If your child needs to be absent from rehearsal due to illness, please inform the director by 4pm that day.

Please be sure to look over the rehearsal schedule closely to make sure your child has no conflicts with the rehearsals or show dates. If there are conflicts, please let the production team know as soon as possible.

Rehearsals will typically last from 5pm-8pm on scheduled days and be held at Easton Middle School (EMS). These time slots are subject to change in the weeks leading up to dress rehearsal week as the cast prepares for the big performance.

Students should bring their scripts, a pencil, water, and wear appropriate shoes and clothes for movement. Also, please make sure you have arranged for your child to be picked up on time from each rehearsal.

Students will have homework for the show:

memorizing lines and songs
rehearsing their dances
researching their character

Create a schedule so your child will have time to finish both their school homework and their homework from the musical.

Tools For Success With Memorization:

read through their scenes with a partner
digital resources, such as Quizziz
frequent listening to songs and sing along once they are shared
using their scripts until they are comfortable with the lyrics

REHEARSAL EXPECTATIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you have accepted a role, it is expected that you will come to ALL REHEARSALS. Absence from rehearsals may result in an actor being dropped from the show. If you must be absent due to illness or emergency, you must call or email the Director before 4 PM of the rehearsal day. If you have a speaking role, you MUST call your counterpart in the other cast and ask them to cover for you.

PARENT COMMITMENT

PRODUCTION COMMITMENTS: Parent involvement is an essential support to producing a show with ECT.

Please make sure you communicate with your committee leader and fulfill your commitment. If you want to volunteer additional time or resources to the production, simply drop us a note with your name, and we will contact you when assistance is needed.

Committee Descriptions

VOLUNTEER REHEARSAL MONITOR COVERAGE: Parents are asked to help with monitoring rehearsals throughout the production process.

Responsibilities include keeping the kids quiet and focused on rehearsals, reminders to put away phones, monitoring behavior and misconduct. No running in any capacity, no touching each other. Regularly surveying the bathroom area to make sure no one is loitering, gossiping, etc. We also ask that at the end of each night, the kids clean up their area and help put away any ECT materials used.

Please use the Schedule Forms below to sign-up for time slots you are available to cover.
