STUDENT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

Kidstock! requires both the participating student and the parent to co-sign a Participation Agreement (see below) that outlines appropriate behavior and acknowledges the commitment to rehearsals.  Students who fail to meet the standards outlined in this agreement will unfortunately be excused from their participation with no refund.

STUDENT/PARENT CONTRACT
I understand that being onstage in a show is a team experience that involves making the commitment to be present at rehearsal, be prepared, and be respectful of the process and my fellow cast mates.  If I am absent, unprepared or disrespectful it will have consequences on my ability to participate fully.

LIGHTING & SOUND CONSIDERATIONS

Kidstock! values the exciting and educational process of preparing a live theatrical presentation.  Theater as an art form can benefit greatly from the technical support of stage lighting and sound amplification, and your school may or may not have access to these systems.  Although these elements are not needed to engage students in a meaningful stage experience, they can greatly enhance the audience experience. Kidstock! will work with whatever resources your facility has to highlight the students onstage, but will not be responsible for providing, improving or repairing lighting or sound support.  A representative from Kidstock! will gladly assess your existing support systems.
