Parent Expectations, Call Backs, Production Fee & Rehearsal Information

Parent Participation:
If your young artist is cast in a J*Company production your participation as a parent volunteer is essential. All of our cast parents are asked to participate in a number of ways to ensure our cast is kept safe, things run smoothly, that our production is a success and that you enjoy this opportunity to work with your budding young artist! We have a variety of committees for you to participate on from: costumes and set painting to ushers, concessions, dressing rooms monitors, cast party, etc. So whether you are a new parent to J*Company or a veteran we need your support on our committees and your time to volunteer. We require that each family fulfill at least four volunteer shifts as a dressing room monitor, usher or at our concessions tables (you will get more details about these schedules at the mandatory parent meeting). Most of all we ask that you have fun, and enjoy being an ambassador for J*Company Youth Theatre and help promote the show out in the community.

Call Back Info:
Please check the Audition Hotline at (858) 457-3030 x 1200 or http://www.sdcjc.org/jcompany after 9:00 p.m. to see if you have been selected to attend Call Backs on March 2nd (from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m.). If you are not called back this does not mean you are not being considered for the Cast, it simply means the show director doesn’t require you to attend Call Backs, so be sure to check for the Cast List which will be posted by 4:00 p.m. on the Friday following Call Backs.

Payment Processing:
If you are cast in this production, the Production fee* ($220/JCC members and $255/ Non-members) collected at your audition appointment will be processed on the day the Cast List is posted. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available—please see Nan Pace, Managing Director for a scholarship application and details. *Once a young artist is cast the Production fee is non-refundable. Should your young artist not be cast in this J*Company production the Production fee payment collected will not be processed.

Production Details:

• Your young artist will receive a full rehearsal schedule at the first rehearsal and must be available for all of TECH week and for all PERFORMANCES. Rehearsals are Monday through Thursday 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00-5:00 p.m. (TBD by show Director). Not all cast members will be called for every rehearsal, but should plan on having availability throughout the rehearsal period with the exception of your noted conflicts on the Young Artist Agreement.
• MANDATORY Parent Meeting -the Parent Meeting is MANDATORY for all cast parents new* and returning**. At least one parent or guardian (per cast member) MUST BE present at this meeting. If you are out of town, please make sure you send someone else in your place to pick up the Parent packet, fill out the emergency form and sign you up for committees/volunteer slots.
