NOTES FROM DIRECTORS: Throughout this process, the students will receive both constructive criticism and positive notes from the directing team. Please remember these notes are not a reflection of how the directing team feels about your specific child, nor are they intended to “bully” your child, rather they are a tool to push them to the best of their abilities. There will be days that rehearsals are hard, and students will need to come home to express their frustrations and exhaustions. As parents, we ask that you help us and teach perseverance and positive professionalism both onstage and off. Should you have any concerns about the rehearsal process or notes, please contact Miss Hess, Mr. CJ, or Mr. Markwood directly to set up a parent conference. Your child will not be penalized for requesting a parent conference.
SICK NOTES: When a child is sick, please take your child to the doctor. When an athlete receives an injury, you take them to the doctor so they may heal quickly and play again. Actors’ tools are their mind and body including: voice, throat, nasal cavities, chest, and diaphragm. Any illness will result in the performer’s inability to be successful onstage and off. Therefore it is critical that students who need attention from the doctor receive that attention as soon as possible.
FAVORITISM AND PRECASTING POLICY: Under no circumstances does ROCK RIDGE PERFORMING ARTS play favorites or pre-cast any productions.

Students are cast or placed based on their audition and ability to work well with others. Casting and placement decisions are not determined by what a student has done for ROCK RIDGE PERFORMING ARTS in the past however behavior in previous productions may be considered. Casting and placement decisions are also not determined by what a student has done for any other arts education/community theatre organization in the past. Additionally, students are not cast based on what their parents/legal guardians do for the company. An audition is a clean slate for all students and we truly do our best to ensure that every child has a place in ROCK RIDGE PERFORMING ARTS. This policy is strictly enforced. There will be a panel of auditors helping cast all productions as well as a detailed audition rubric that a student may ask to see at the end of the audition process through a consultation between teacher, parent, and student.

SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE:
Students and parents must promote our productions within the community through social media platforms. Particularly, Facebook brings in a large portion of our local community, and other social media posts impact our high school demographics.

If inappropriate posts or posts that make students feel uncomfortable, exposed, or bullied are brought to the attention of the directing team, we will address it within the company and with school administration as necessary.
