The Cast Lists will be posted on Wednesday, December 2nd at 12:00pm on our website at www.thekidstheatercompany.blogspot.com. The Cast Lists will also be posted at the Los Cerritos Theater after school on Wednesday.
There is a mandatory Parent Meeting, Thursday, December 3rd from 6:00-7:00pm. This is where the registration fee will be collected, Scripts & Rehearsal Schedules will be handed out, Rules and Guidelines will be discussed, Volunteer Committees will be assigned, etc…If you cannot attend this meeting, please send a representative of some kind.
The deadline to pay the registration fee of $225.00, is by the first rehearsal of the participant. (This fee includes: The show costume, a cast-t-shirt, a show playbill, professional acting & singing instruction, a professional concert pianist, and much more!!)
Please make sure that your actor or actress brings their SCRIPTS and a PENCIL/PEN to every rehearsal!! This script is their map, without it, they will be completely lost, and as a result will fall behind. If a script is lost/misplaced, it is your job to notify ‘Kyle’ or TKTC Staff and a new copy will be emailed to you…Only (1) Binded script will be distributed per cast member.
We ask that you pack your child a snack of some kind for rehearsals. SNACKS are not provided and rehearsals tend to go 3 ½ to 4 hours long, so please plan accordingly.
It’s understood that we all have busy schedules, sometimes things just come up, and at times – life can be crazy! With that said, being part of a Theatrical Production is a big commitment, so PLEASE try and attend EVERY rehearsal. In case you hadn’t noticed this is a much shorter rehearsal period than we’ve had in the past. Therefore, EVERY rehearsal is an important one. If there are scheduling conflicts, I completely understand, and can be flexible (to a point). Just please let me know in advance and understand that missing rehearsals does AFFECT the rest of the cast and crew as well.
It would help a great deal if Parents could encourage their kids to review the scenes we will be rehearsing prior to that rehearsal. The more familiar they are with the scene we’re rehearsing, and their lines in that scene, the more they will get out of this experience!! The deadline to have all lines memorized is by Tuesday, February 23rd for Act Two, and Sunday, February 28th for BOTH ACTS!!
Putting together a production takes many hands. At the Parent Meeting there will be an opportunity to volunteer for a selection of production committees. This is by no means a requirement, but any time you that you are willing to donate to this production and its committees would be greatly appreciated.
All iPhones, Blackberries, Cellular Devices, iPods, PSP’s, and things of that nature ARE PROHIBITED during rehearsals. This is not the time for texting, downloading, playing Tetris, PacMan, Guitar Hero, Twister, or anything else!! These are all distractions and will only lead us down a wrong path. I understand we need cell phones to contact family for pick up, and that is ok. BUT, no playing with any of the above mentioned items
DURING REHEASAL HOURS!!
Bullying & Name Calling!
Whenever you take part in a TKTC Production it is always considered a “BULLY-FREE ZONE!” I take this very seriously. There is ABSOLUTELY no name calling, or Bullying of any kind. If your child is teased, picked on, physically harmed in any way, alert Kyle immediately. I prefer you discuss this with me in person, but via Email or Phone Call will be fine as well.
This is not just a theater program, but a safe haven for kids of all ages and all walks of life. It is sooo important to me as well as this theater company to have every single child succeed!! You have to believe it before you can be it!! And one of the main goals of TKTC is to work on teaching you how to believe in yourself and find your inner strengths!!
Lastly, just please respect one another! Even though certain roles are double cast, we are not in competition with one another. Being double cast means you are two equal parts of a whole. We are a family here! Being part of a show isn’t about one person, its about being part of a team, having a shared experience. Do not ruin this experience by being mean, or competitive with one another. Let’s use this as a chance to all continue to grow and develop even further as actors and people.
