- LISTEN
- Active
listening means that you are not talking to your neighbor and your eyes are on
the instructor. Nodding your head
indicates that you have heard and understand.
- A
lot of time is wasted when the instructor has to struggle to get everyone’s
attention. This takes away from the
overall quality of the show.
- SHOWING
IMPROVEMENT
- One
of the goals of CMW is to teach you about theatre techniques and help you
improve as a performer. Working hard,
following directions, and showing improvement over the course of a show
improves your chances of receiving larger roles in the future.
- When
an instructor gives you a note about a song, dance, or scene, it will be
helpful for you to write the note down (in pencil) in your script so that you
can apply it to the next run-through.

- BEHAVIOR
- The
instructors will keep a running list of instances of good and bad behavior
amongst the group. We will be keeping
track of the following:
- Absences
- Lateness
- Disruptive
Talking/Behavior During Rehearsal
- Not
Keeping Up with Memorization Expectations
- Absences
- Stars
will be rewarded on this sheet for early memorization of scenes, songs, and
dances as well as any behavior or teamwork that exceeds expectations and helps
make our show better.

instructors will keep a running list of instances of good and bad behavior
amongst the group. We will be keeping
track of the following:
- ABSENCES
- We
realize that everyone has busy lives and multiple obligations but it is very
important for the quality of the show that everyone is present at every
rehearsal.
- Let
the instructors know, with as much notice possible, if you know that you will
be absent for a rehearsal.
- If
an actor misses more than 2 rehearsals, it is at the instructors’ discretion to
pull them from the scenes/songs/dances that they missed.
