Navo Middle School Mission

The mission of Navo Middle School, in collaboration and open communication with the learning community, is to empower our students to become self-confident, respectful, and

responsible citizens through maintaining high expectations, embracing diversity, and providing a safe, positive learning environment.

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation causes your greatest fears to come true. A theater is a place for plays to be crafted, not for play. Theatre is a refuge where we can escape life’s problems - not let them interfere with

Navo Theatre Mission Statement

We have a commitment to excellence, a challenge that we demand to meet with each day. We seek not only excellence in the art itself, but also in our toiling, training and tenacity. We

believe that a production is not a product of any one classification of people whether it be crew, actors, directors, audience- but rather a union of the passion and appreciation between all of the aforementioned groups. This department offers not only an opportunity to grow as an artist, but more importantly, to develop skills that will empower you throughout your life.

We will challenge all members to take risks, push their own limitations and strive to grow beyond themselves. We must always remember that outstanding productions are the result of

a synergy between all of the above elements.

International Thespian Society Pledge

            “I promise to uphold the aims and ideals of The International Thespian Society.  I am a student of theatre and

excellence is my ideal.  I promise to perform my part as well as I can; to accept praise and criticism with grace; to

cooperate with my fellow Thespians and work for the good of the troupe; and to share my love of theatre. Act well

your part, there all the honor lies.”

Philosophies of the Navo Middle School Theatre Department

A theater is a mecca where art is created – treat it with reverence and respect.

Page 4: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

the process of creation. Having fun in theatre is a result of putting forth effort, being disciplined, and doing

the job correctly. The rewards far exceed those that come from simply being adequate, sliding by or just throwing it together.

Never come into the Theatre with mud on your feet. Leave your dust and dirt outside. Check your little worries, squabbles and difficulties - all the things that ruin your life and draw your attention away from your art - at the door.

You will be pushed to do your best; we expect you to work consistently, try hard, obey the rules and cooperate fully with your directors and fellow performers. This will be made easier if you remember the following:

Page 5: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

A. GENERAL PROCEDURES1. All Navo Theatre participants must follow ALL directives and meet ALL deadlines of the

Directors and Navo Theatre Officers. Following directives means responding with “Yes sir/Yes ma’am”, and or “Thank you” and completing the directive the first time asked with a positive attitude. Excuses or questioning will not be tolerated.

2. Behavior and image are two important factors for Navo Theatre students because we are continuously on display. Students should not take part in or continuously engage in any on or off-campus activity that could be perceived as diminishing the integrity of Navo Theatre. This would include electronic messages either in text or online.

3. All participants must check the callboard DAILY for announcements. Negligence in reading the callboard is no excuse for missing an assignment or rehearsal. All efforts will be made to post all announcements before lunch.

4. The students that are staying in the building for Navo Theatre events must be with Mrs.Hirsch at all times.

5. Due to the fear of cross contamination and the spreading of disease, the sharing of food, drink, or make-up is adamantly discouraged.

6. Navo Theatre equipment should only be used with permission from a Director, and it should be returned to its appropriate place when the work is completed at day’s end.

7. Students who have financial obligations will be ineligible for casting and unable to check out Navo Theatre equipment.

8. Students in Chambers must have a signed pass from their teacher unless they are in a class in Chambers during that period.

9. Three major rules concerning communication:1) It is your responsibility to be informed.2) Never assume anything. Don’t rely on word of mouth.3) Check the callboard DAILY!

B. ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITIES1. Your primary responsibility is to your grades. When you are involved in a Navo Theatre

activity, it is your responsibility to let us know if you are having trouble in a particular class so that we can arrange tutoring. We cannot provide help unless you inform us that there is a problem. Remember: if you fail, you will be ineligible. It will then be extremely difficult for you to regain the trust it takes to participate in activities.

C. BASIC RULES OF THE STAGE

Page 6: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

1. Do not eat or drink anything on the stage or in the auditorium! 2. As questions and concerns will inevitably arise, see the Stage Manager after rehearsal.3. Spectators and children from the audience are not allowed to be on the stage at any time

before, during, or after the production.4. The lip in the auditorium is not to be walked on, stood on, sat upon, or crossed except

when blocked to do so in the action of the play.5. Jumping on/off the stage is unacceptable except when blocked to do by the Director.6. The fronts of the stage curtains are not to be touched by human skin.

D. ATTENDANCE AND PROMPTNESS1. Be on time to rehearsal! This is an important rule of the theatre! Call time is usually

fifteen minutes before rehearsal and 2.5 hours before performance. If you are a minute late to rehearsal, then you are still late. If you need to be tardy due to a valid reason, use the same procedure as you would for an absence. If rehearsal starts at 7:30am, you are expected to arrive at 7:20am to set props, dress in attire and warm-up as a cast so that rehearsal can start promptly.

2. On the third unexcused tardy, the student will be removed from the production. 3. Three excused tardies will be count as one unexcused absence.4. One unexcused absence or three excused absences (non-school/work) from rehearsal

will result in dismissal pending Director conference. An unexcused absence from a dress rehearsal or performance is an automatic dismissal and will most likely keep you from being selected for future Navo Theatre productions.

5. A tentative schedule of rehearsal days and times will be at the audition. You will be asked to fill out a conflict sheet that tells the Director(s) when you cannot be at a particular rehearsal. Please be specific and accurate on the conflict sheet! Write in all school related, job related or church related conflicts. If the conflict is not on this list, it will be considered unexcused.

6. If you have a valid reason for missing a rehearsal, notify the Director at least three days prior so that the rehearsal schedule may be modified. If you have an emergency absence on the day of a rehearsal, then contact your Director immediately. If needed, leave a message! Never tell someone else to tell the Director. It is your responsibility to contact the director(s).

7. Students may not leave rehearsal early without the Director’s permission.8. Students are expected to communicate any attendance issues to the Stage Manager once

approved by the Director.

E. AUDITIONING PROCEDURES1. Within 24 hours of posting, you must initial the cast list next to your name to accept

your part. Not doing so may result in a recasting of your role.2. If a student declines their part, the student may be ineligible for casting in the following

Navo Theatre production.3. Once the cast list is posted, it is considered inappropriate and unprofessional to inform

others of their parts. 4. If you do not get cast in a role that you desire, learn to accept the loss with grace. Verbal

attacks or gossip serve no constructive purpose.

these and pencils with them at every rehearsal. Failure to return a script or score when necessary may result in fines.

7. All company members must maintain a quiet, professional attitude at all times.8. Props are to be used only in the given action of a play. Actors should pick up all props

from the assigned prop areas and return them as directed. No props are to be played with or removed from the stage area.

9. Set pieces should not be moved, played with, touched, or sat upon except in the given action of the play.

10. The actor must cooperate with the Director in the overall “look” of the character. Hairstyles will be dictated by the character, period of the play, and design concept. See the Hair Policy section of this handbook for further explanation.

11. Personal issues should be dealt with outside of the performing and rehearsing times.12. Actors should begin memorizing their lines upon receiving the script. After a scene is

blocked, they should If you are running a scene and do not know your line, pause and call out “Line” and the prompter will give you the beginning of your line. DO NOT “break character.”

13. Memorize lines when not onstage or bring homework or study materials. Never use the production as an excuse for failing grades or not being prepared!

14. Take care of your health! 15. Avoid asking the following questions during rehearsals:

a) How long will rehearsal last?b) Am I really needed today?c) What are we going to do in rehearsal today?d) May I leave early? I only have a small part.

Page 8: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

16. Actors are actors. Techies are techies. ALL are essential to the process, but please concern yourself only with your job. Never tell someone else how to do his or her job. It will not be tolerated. Accept your role in the production.

expectations as the actors.2. Crew must follow all orders by the Directors and Stage Manager and cooperate with the

actors, other technicians, and participants in the production.3. Stage Manager and Crew Heads should be treated with the same respect as a Director.4. All schedule conflicts, including specific dates and times, should be reported on the

technical contract.5. Crew is required to attend all appropriate crew calls; crew members will only get thespian

from 4-5pm Monday, Wednesday & 7:30-8:40am Friday. You are required to be at these rehearsals unless designated otherwise in the rehearsal schedule. The rehearsal schedule

Page 9: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

may be altered to fit the personal schedule of the Director or the schedules of the company.

2. All cast and crew members are required to stay for the Director’s and/or Stage Manager’s notes following dress rehearsals. This usually means rehearsals may last until 10pm the final week. Please inform your parents of these final dress rehearsals and be prepared to stay for the entire length of the rehearsal.

3. It is the responsibility of the cast and crew to clean up your make-up, hang your costumes and put the dressing area back in order each day. No cast/crew member is permitted to leave the building until the Director dismisses everyone.

K. PERFORMANCE ETIQUETTE1. “Breaking Curtain” (peeking out) before the show, during the show, or at intermission is

considered extremely bad etiquette and is not permitted.2. Having visitors (including parents) backstage before, during, or after the show is not

permissible unless pre-approved by a Director.3. Being seen in the house before the performance is not permitted. This includes the house

lobby unless instructed otherwise by a Director.4. Leaving school campus during a performance is not permitted.5. In American theatre, the presentation of gifts and flowers in front of the audience at

curtain call is considered very bad etiquette and is not permitted unless pre-approved.6. The house lobby of the theater is referred to as the “Reception Hall”. It serves as a

location where congratulations, hugs, gifts, and flowers can be exchanged after the performance. This is the most appropriate place for the cast and crew members to greet audience members.

L. DRESSING ROOM RULES1. During the period of dress rehearsals and performances, students are not permitted in the

dressing room of the opposite sex except for approved make-up/costume crew.2. Only cast members or specified crew members are permitted in the dressing room two

each rehearsal and performance.5. Caps must be placed on their respective containers when finished and makeup applicators

should not be mixed.6. Dressing room mirrors are to remain clean at all times. Any writing or obstructive

decoration on or around them is not permitted. They are there to assist in the physical preparation for a production, not for socializing with other cast members.

7. Costumes WILL BE treated with care. Actors must hang up all costume pieces. Items worn as costumes never leave the theater during the dress rehearsal and performance period, except when taken for cleaning and/or repairs, and only when approved by the costume head. The performer never takes any part of their costume home, even if it is their own property, until strike

8. Sitting, standing, or lying on the dressing room counters is prohibited.9. Stage make-up and costumes are not to be worn after a performance and must be

removed prior to greeting the audience.

Page 10: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

10. Food or drink, with the exception of water, is prohibited in the dressing rooms.11. Personal items should be stored away from the counter or left at home.12. All personal items must be removed from dressing rooms by the end of strike. After one

the day after. 2. All cast/crew members must sign in with the Stage Manager both at the beginning and

end of strike. No exceptions. You must attend strike and will stay until dismissed.N. HAIR POLICY

1. It is customary in this department that actors NEVER do anything with their hair and/or beards during a particular production. It is the responsibility of the actor to check with the Director as to what look the Director wants. It is wise for actors not to get emotionally attached to a particular hair style or hair color. Failure to abide by this rule could dismiss you from the cast.

2. We are more apt for ladies or men to dye hair than to go with wigs or hair pieces. BE READY TO DYE YOUR HAIR OR CUT IT IF THE ROLE REQUIRES!

O. PROCEDURES FOR BOX OFFICE1. Anyone who sells tickets must go through a Box Office Orientation session.2. Advance ticket price is stopped at 3:00 the day of the performance.3. Reservations by phone should be recorded on the reservation sheet. Messages should be

4. All unclaimed tickets are available for resale the night of performance 15 minutes prior to the performance.

5. The tickets for a reservation should be placed in the special sized ticket envelopes. In the top left corner, the ticket seller should write the buyer’s name (last name first), the number of tickets, and the date of the performance. In the top right corner, the ticket seller should write how much the buyer owes before they can pick up their tickets. The envelope should be placed in the appropriate reservation box in alpha order.

6. All tickets and money are to be locked up when not filling orders. The individual tickets are worth as much as the money.

P. USHERS AND HOUSE STAFF PROCEDURES1. All House staff must be dressed in black slacks and a tucked-in, white collared shirt. You

are the first impression of the department and must dress the part.2. Flashlights and Usher tags will be assigned nightly to the House staff and must be turned

in each night to the House Manager.3. The House Staff and house crew must help set up the lobby, including the refreshment

area, and prepare programs before the opening of the house.4. During the course of the show, the Ushers and House Staff are to remain in the

auditorium in their designated areas. They are not allowed backstage.5. All House Staff are to obey the House Manager at all times.

Page 11: navomstheatre.weebly.com€¦ · Web viewThe purpose of this manual is to clearly define the necessary rules and accepted practices of the Navo Middle School Theatre Arts Department.

6. Ushers are to enforce all rules stated in the Section C: Basic Rules of the Stage.7. Ushers are to hand out programs, solve problems, handle emergencies and answer any

questions that may be asked by the audience.8. In the event of a disrespectful, unruly, or inappropriate audience member, the Usher is

expected to remain respectful at all times. If the problem cannot be solved, alert the House Manager, Director, or a School Administrator if additional help is necessary.

9. At the end of each performance, the House Staff must clean up the house, lobby, and refreshment areas and return all equipment, including signs, tables, chairs, t-shirts, and programs to their appropriate places before they are dismissed.
