Expectations Agreement I will treat everyone and their belongings with kindness and respect. I will never make fun of anyone, especially when we are performing. If it isn’t mine, I won’t touch it! I agree to respect our meeting and rehearsal spaces. I will never touch or play with CPMS’ and/or Mrs. Wortham’s property, including props and costumes (unless given permission). If it isn’t mine, I won’t touch it!

Expectations Agreement I will be “on time” (early) and prepared for all meetings, rehearsals and events. If I’m on time, I’m late! I will attend all Drama Club meetings. If a conflict arises, I will notify Mrs. Wortham or Mrs. Lambert as soon as possible, with an excuse note from my parent/guardian. Three unexcused absences = removal from the Drama Club.

Expectations Agreement I will practice proper audience etiquette at all times. I will follow directions given by my Drama Club leaders, and focus my attention on the tasks at hand. I will help accomplish this by keeping my cell phone, iPod and all other electronic devices out of sight and out of mind. I will never chew gum on stage!

Consequences: “3 Strikes, You’re Out” If Mrs. Wortham and/or Mrs. Lambert have to warn me about my behavior three times, I understand I will be removed from the meeting, rehearsal or event. If I am removed three times, I understand I will be removed from the Drama Club altogether.
