2009 Fall Musical Theater Workshop
 


















CONFLICTS

The RFKT workshop schedule is designed to be manageable for families and children.  The commitment is just once a week, with only one extra rehearsal right before the show.  Each performer can take up to one full absence, plus up to two "shadows," which allows performers to come during another section, if they have a conflict during their own time.  The mandatory rehearsals leading up to the show are extremely important and ensure that every cast member is comfortable and prepared when it is time to do the show.

  • Please do not register if you have more than 1 conflict that cannot be resolved by "shadowing" (i.e. coming during another section).

  • Please do not register if you have to shadow more than twice.

  • Dress rehearsals may not be missed or shadowed.  If a performer misses (or is late to or leaves early from) a dress rehearsal, he/she will not be permitted to perform in the show.

  • Rehearsals marked as mandatory may not be missed or shadowed  If a performer misses (or is late to or leaves early from) a mandatory rehearsals, he/she will not be permitted to perform in the show.

COST
* The costs of the workskhops are: Jellybeans $350, Workshop $395.  This includes your child's costume(s), with the exception of appropriate shoes and tights (to be discussed in rehearsals), which are to be provided by the parent.
* Tickets to the show are not included in the registration price.  Tickets are $6 each for Jellybeans and $8 for  Workshops.

REFUND POLICY (Please read before you register!)
* There are absolutely no refunds or credits given for any reason.
* Please make sure you are able to commit before you register because there are no credits or refunds.
