All communications are through email from Arts Alive.  Please do not call the office with questions about the play.

The Arts Alive philosophy is to be all-inclusive. We believe kids are still discovering their abilities and should be encouraged to explore. For that reason, we do not CUT kids from the auditions. All kids are given a part and will be pushed to grow their own individual abilities,  but they need to understand not everyone is going to be cast in a lead part – it is just not possible.  Due to our numbers, our shows are largely ENSEMBLE. We appreciate you helping us to communicate to the kids that they are in this for the experience, NOT to be singled out as stars! Complaints about casting will not be responded to. We strive to teach the kids to make the most of what they get! ALL kids will have plenty to do.

Unless otherwise noted, rehearsals at Kickemuit Middle School end at:

4:00 pm for all actors

You do NOT need to send in a dismissal note for rehearsals. Arts Alive! staff will provide a list of children participating in rehearsals each week for sign-out.

Please be on time to pick up your child. If your child remains in our care 15 minutes beyond the designated pick-up time, you will incur a $10.00 late pick up fee per family for every 10 minutes beyond the 15 minute grace period (i.e., 1-10 minutes late, $10.00; 11-20 minutes late, $20.00, etc.). Late fees must be paid in full at the time of pick up. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

All participants and their parents will be required to review and sign the Arts Alive! Discipline Policy. The Discipline Policy will be reviewed at the start of the program. In addition, a hard copy will be provided to be signed and returned.

School Attendance/ Early Dismissal/ Sickness
If a student is absent from school or dismissed from school early due to illness or health concerns, they will not be permitted to participate in any Arts Alive! after school activities, including rehearsals, tech week events, or performances.

Head Lice
If a participant is diagnosed with head lice, Arts Alive! will require that they receive at least one treatment prior to returning to rehearsal, tech week events, or performances. Given the nature of our programs in which students are in close proximity and may often have costume pieces stored together in backstage areas during performance, we want to do our due diligence to ensure there is no further spread.
