Attendance

Through observation, over the past 30 years, we have learned that the more participants can attend the whole group sessions the more successful they can be at the workshop and the more they get out of it and enjoy their experience, therefore every effort must be made for all participants to be at all sessions.

However, we understand that missing all or part of some sessions may be unavoidable. We have created minimum attendance requirements to make sure the participants have the best experience possible but still allow for some flexibility for absences that cannot be avoided. Because we honestly feel that these requirements are necessary for success in the workshop, applicants will not be able to participate in the workshop if they cannot meet these attendance requirements. Please note that long periods of absence may mean participants do not get to be involved in every phase of the workshop.

If you are interested in participating but will be gone for more than three days in a row during the last three weeks of the workshop please let us know at the beginning of the workshop so we can discuss what it means for your participation.

Minimum attendance requirements

You must be able to participate in 5 full sessions (can include half sessions, etc. so long as it adds up to five) out of the first 11 sessions.

Participants who will perform must be able to attend the final full company rehearsal on Wednesday, June 26 from 6:00–10:00 PM.
