AUDITORIUM RULES:

  •          Students may not touch the curtains, lighting, or any other stage equipment without the express permission of Ms. Rinaldi.  This is not to keep you away from the stage, but to ensure that you use the theater safely and responsibly.

  •          Playing the piano is expressly forbidden.

CLASS RULES:

  •         All students are expected to participate in class every day.

  •         We often work in groups.  Students are not permitted to change groups.

  •          Drama class requires that we each get up in front of others to perform.  It is expected that all students will be supportive and encouraging as audience members--nothing less is acceptable.

  •          Students often work in groups in the hall.  Students may not leave the area immediately outside room 204, and are expected to work diligently and behave appropriately.
