Gulf Alliance for Local Arts

In order to participate in a St. Joe Children’s Theater production, we ask that a parent or guardian agree to the below:

To volunteer for up to 10 hours for this production, serving on a committee. There are a variety of committees on which you can serve. Each committee is vital to the success of our performance! Committee sign-up sheets are available at the parents’ meeting. A job description with required dates will be given to you. When you sign up for a committee, you are agreeing to serve on those dates.

To provide all of the appropriate costumes for your child’s character. The director or costume designer will give you guidelines.

That your child will arrive at rehearsals on scheduled days and on time. Note: It is the parents’ responsibility to keep up with the schedule provided by the director and to follow the schedule. It is also the parents’ responsibility to pick up your child on time. Please do not be late. We will end rehearsal at the time listed on the rehearsal schedule.

That should my child have an unavoidable conflict or be too ill to attend rehearsal, you will call the Director.

That cast members are required to be at all scheduled rehearsals. Every cast member MUST be at ALL rehearsals when the production moves to its venue. These dates will be listed on the rehearsal schedule.

That you will look at the schedule and inform the director in writing of any conflicts that your child may have at the first rehearsal. That you also understand the rule that if any cast member misses more than three rehearsals, whether pre-approved or not, he or she may be replaced.

That you must sign the attached contract, releasing Gulf Alliance for Local Art (GALA) of liability in case of an accident and providing emergency medical information in order for your child to participate. These releases must be given to the director by the first rehearsal.

That you have received and read the Rules to Live By, and that your child understands these rules, and that if they are not followed, he or she may be removed from the show.

To pay a $10.00 participation fee. This fee covers lunch at the matinee performance, incidental expenses, and printing costs for scenes from the script. All actors receiving a printed script must pay an additional fee of $8.00 for their script. This fee is refundable upon return of the script in its original condition. If any of these costs present a problem, please contact the Director or GALA and the fee will be waived.
