9. ARE PARENTS AND OTHERS PERMITTED TO WATCH THE AUDITIONS OR REHEARSALS?

Only parents and others who are assisting in a volunteer capacity of some kind will be permitted into the
audition/ rehearsal space. There are eating and shopping establishments near the studio in both the east-
ward and westward directions. (More information will be available during the parent meeting.)


10. ARE PARENTS REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER?

Please see #5, under OPTIONAL FEE. Also, by signing up for at least 6 hours or more, you will be
automatically entered into our volunteer member raffle. 5 winners will be drawn. Each will receive 4
tickets to one of the performances of their choice. Without the aid of volunteers we would not be able to
produce a show of this size. Please seriously consider the necessity of your help. No amount of time is
too small.

11. HOW WILL PARTICIPANTS BE MONITORED WHILE IN, OR OUT, OF REHEARSALS?

While in rehearsals, all participants are overseen either by the person conducting the rehearsal or by
volunteers in the reception area. When a participants rehearsal time is scheduled to end, a parent or
guardian (that has been predetermined) will be responsible to pick up the participant. Otherwise they
will need to remain on the premises until a parent arrive. A system of communication will have been
established and reviewed by all staff and volunteers prior to the start of rehearsals. All participants will
need to be signed in and out of rehearsals and performances. Once an individual is signed out,
PDM PRODUCTIONS, INC., is no longer under any obligation to be responsible for their well being.
Unless we have something in writing, no one will be able to leave or carpool with another individual or
another family. The listed parent or guardian will be the responsible party for release from rehearsals.
(This will be strictly adhered to.)


12. ARE PARENTS REQUIRED TO STAY ONSITE IF THEY ARE NOT A REHEARSAL
VOLUNTEER?

No they are not. However, they will need to follow the procedure for signing out, as stated above.

13. WHAT IS THE PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF PROCEDURE?

This will be discussed in the parent/guardian meeting on Friday, September 19
th
; 6:00-7:30pm.
