ATTENDANCE POLICY
Theatre is a team effort! Every performer plays a vital role in telling the story, making attendance extremely important. Acting Out is a year-long commitment. Students are expected to be at all classes, rehearsals, and performances listed above for their class. Failure to attend 3 or more rehearsals may result in your performer being removed from scenes or his/her role being reassigned. These decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis and are largely driven by the level of disruption to the rest of the cast. Opportunities to make up missed rehearsals with one of the instructors may be an option and will be at the parent’s expense. The week before our showcase and the final 3 weeks before the performance, students are expected to attend 100% of classes and rehearsals; these mandatory rehearsals have been listed for each class:
- Mandatory Rehearsals
- Thursday, November 28, 2024
- Thursday, April 17, 2025
- Monday, April 24, 2025
- Tuesday, May 1, 2025 (extended rehearsal 5-7 pm)
- Mandatory Performance Dates
- Saturday, November 30, 2024 (Showcase)
- Saturday, May 3, 2025 (Performance)
- Monday, May 5, 2025 (Performance)
REFUND POLICY
Due to the large amount of planning required for our Acting Out productions and several large upfront costs associated with producing a musical, no refunds will be given for cancelled registrations unless we can fill your child’s spot in the production. If your child’s spot is filled, a non-transferrable CREDIT (less a $20 processing fee) will be issued, which can be used towards any program at Arts Abound for up to 1 year after it is issued. CREDITS HAVE NO CASH VALUE.
DECLARATION OF DISABILITY
Communication is imperative to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Please contact Arts Abound prior to registering to discuss your child’s needs.
Arts Abound is unable to provide any:
– Personal care support (e.g. administering medication, toileting, feeding)
– 1:1 Behavioural support to participate in programs
– Support for any violent and aggressive behaviours
If a child requires personal care or behaviour support, families are welcome to send them with a qualified 1:1 support with their child. Arts Abound reserves the right to remove a child from their program if any disabilities have not been declared at the time of registration and/or the level of care and supports required was not accurately communicated.
UNMANAGEABLE, INAPPROPRIATE AND DANGEROUS BEHAVIOUR
Arts Abound reserves the right to remove a child from programming, without refund, if their behaviour or the behaviour of their parent(s) is deemed to be unmanageable, inappropriate, and/or is dangerous to themselves or others. Bullying, in any form, will not be tolerated.
CLASSES
Classes will be offered in person at Arts Abound whenever possible. Our class schedule allows for one cancelled class per semester that will not be made up. A make-up class will be scheduled if more than one class is cancelled due to weather or instructor illness.
If Arts Abound must close due to unforeseen circumstances—such as a government mandate, natural disaster, or public health emergency—classes will be moved online. REFUNDS/CREDITS WILL NOT BE ISSUED IF CLASSES ARE MOVED ONLINE.
