If your actor participated in 101 Dalmatians Kids or The Addams Family young@part, the $25 fee is not needed.

The participation fee for this show is $100 per actor. All production members and the board are unpaid, and these participation fees allow for costumes, props, and other show materials to be purchased.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals will be at Regional Performing Arts Company (2530 Portage Mall, Portage, IN.) A rehearsal calendar will be set after cast conflicts are reviewed. Some cast members (depending on their role) may not be needed for each rehearsal. A finalized calendar will be available at the first parent meeting based on conflicts. The parent meeting and read-through are set to be on October 18th, 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

Conflicts

The directors will make every effort to work around the cast’s conflicts; however, if you have too many conflicts, it is possible that you will not be cast in this production. All cast members must be available December 9-15 for tech week rehearsals and performances. Please make sure your conflict calendar is up to date!

Expected Behavior

It is the goal of the production team to offer the students an opportunity to learn theater skills, be a part of a quality production, learn respect for others, and have fun. Behavior at rehearsals and performances will be monitored and parents of students will be contacted if problems should arise. Specific behaviors and consequences are covered in our Member Family Agreement but it is ultimately left to the discretion of the production staff if specific behaviors are interrupting the rehearsal process and a student should be removed.

Casting

The cast list will be posted at https://us.cast98.com/studios/rpac once casting is complete. If your name is included on the cast list, but you do not wish to accept your role, please reach out to production@regionalperformingarts.org so that re-casting can take place as soon as possible.
