I give the students choice in a lot of what they do, however, I encourage and only allow G and PG
rated performances in my class. Because of the amount of theatre performances and writings, it is
not possible for me to screen everything your student may read. When choosing a monologue and
scene your student may come across language or things they or you as parents consider to be
inappropriate. If they would still like to perform the scene or monologue, they may cut or change
the words to be more appropriate. I will never make the students perform something they are not
comfortable with. Please talk to me if the student, you or any member of the group is having issues.
Contract:
-I give permission for my student to watch G and PG-rated movies or clips _____Yes _____No
-I give permission for photos or videos of my students performances to be posted on the CMMS
and/or class website and Facebook page. _____Yes _____No
-I am willing to arrange for appropriate Performance/Audition Clothing ____Yes ______No
