rehearsals. Upon arrival, Player will note and sign time of
arrival in Attendance Log. In the event of emergency, Player

with complete record of academic, extracurricular, religious,
and family commitments for the next five weeks. At full Cast
Meeting, Player will commit to rehearsal dates, performance
dates and roles for the next five weeks by signing

performance, Player may break the commitment only in case of

place to meet before performance, performance location

than at D. B. Todd Clinic, player must provide confirmed
notice to coordinator: Player must either speak directly to
Coordinator on the telephone, or if leaving a message,
request confirmation call from Coordinator. If Player does
not receive confirmation, Player must meet at D. B. Todd
Clinic at call tine. Unreasonable or too-frequent lateness
for performances constitutes a grievance between Coordinator
and Player.Once Player has committee to a performance,
missing that performance without notification may
constitutes grounds for immediate dismissal. In case of
emergency absence, Player will notify Coordinator by

grievance between Coordinator and Player.

Players uniform (clean logo t-shirt and clean black
"bottoms:" pants, skirt, leggings, or shorts) in all
