Parent Need-to-Know Information
PARENT PARTICIPATION:
If your young artist is cast in a JHCompany production your participation as a parent volunteer is essential. All of our cast
parents are asked to participate in a number of ways to ensure our cast is kept safe, things run smoothly, that our production is
a success and that you enjoy this opportunity to work with your budding young artist! We have a variety of committees for you
to participate on from: costumes and set painting to ushers, concessions, dressing rooms monitors, cast party, etc. So whether
you are a new parent to JHCompany or a veteran we need your support on our committees and your time to volunteer. We
require that each family fulfill at least four volunteer shifts as a dressing room monitor, usher or at our concessions tables (you
will get more details about these schedules at the mandatory parent meeting). Most of all we ask that you have fun, and enjoy
being an ambassador for JHCompany Youth Theatre and help promote the show out in the community.

Young Artist Commitment Agreement – Annie Warbucks
JHCompany Youth Theatre is dedicated to producing high quality professional youth theatre performances. A strong sense of
commitment from both parents and cast members are an essential part of the production process. Cast members are requested to
be present for every regularly scheduled rehearsal pertaining to their role in the production; this is a courtesy to the Show Director,
Musical Director and other members of the cast, and is of extreme importance to the individual actor’s performance and growth in
the arts.
Below is a space to list all conflicts; please do so honestly and thoroughly. Rehearsals missed, which are not on your conflicts
below, may result in the performer being dropped from the show. It is very important to contact the Show Director as soon as
possible should you have a conflict arise after you submit this form. Missing too many rehearsals which were not listed at the time
of your audition is frowned upon and hinders the process of the show’s creation–NO MATTER THE SIZE OF YOUR PART–each
cast member is very important to every JHCompany production. Illnesses and emergencies will be taken in proper consideration.
All cast members must attend each Tech rehearsal and all performances.
GENERAL REHEARSALS:
General rehearsals are Monday thru Thursday, 4:00–6/7:00 p.m. (longer rehearsal times just before Tech week, please see
schedule below) and occasional Sundays, 1:00–5:00 p.m. (TBD by Show Director). There are never rehearsals on Friday or
Saturday and not all cast members will be called for every rehearsal, but you should plan on having availability throughout the
rehearsal period with the exception of your noted conflicts below. The full rehearsal schedule will be posted online once the cast list
is posted.
