Kid's Drama Club Rules and Routine/Schedule

Drama Workout 2008-09

Rule #1 - POSITIVITY

“Yes! And…” attitude toward your coach and other team members. Supportive and never teasing or tearing down.

Rule #2 – RESPECT

When it’s not your turn on stage, don’t take center stage

(meaning: don’t talk or be disruptive when your not supposed to be doing that!)

Rule #3 - COMMITTMENT

When you commit to the company you’re becoming part of team that relies on you to BE THERE. When students are missing who have PARTS in performances we are preparing, we can’t prepare very well and I get ALL STRESSED OUT. Now, I’m a reasonable woman, but it’s not pretty when I get stressed out (ask my kids). Soooo. If you must miss a workout/rehearsal, let Mrs. Creasman know by sms, or email that you can’t make it as soon as you can.  (hp98396965)

4:30 Elementary dismissed, Jr High stays for Intermediate workout

5:15 Jr. High dismissed, Stage Crew for the week helps put room back in order.

*Like last year, late arrivals get to wear a “special t-shirt,” be stage crew, straighten up afterward, and won’t be called on for special parts for that week.
