Green Room REMINDERS and Missing Curtain Call

With such a large cast with and lots of new actors, please be especially careful about your cast and crew responsibilities of the Greenroom. Based on last night, we would have had at least ten cast/crew that would have lost curtain call - most were given a warning. 

Offenses were typically costumes on the floor, hangers and other personal items left out, eating during Act 1 and/or 2 (only allowed during intermission), not paying attention to show progress (almost missing queues), and general talking too loudly in the Greenroom and just outside the backstage door. Hopefully an ounce of prevention will help here.

Green Room
Rules, regulations and reminders

Bring only water for drinking in all show areas.
Eating is only allowed at intermission and between shows.
No chocolate or chewing gum is allowed.
Students must wear cover-ups (knee-length, zip up, button snap or tie – not
one you have to pull over your heads) when eating and applying make-up.
No electronic devices are allowed including cell phones, video games, iPods
and mp3 players.
Bring homework or other quiet activities when you are not on stage.
Place your show buddy notes/gifts in the designated area when you arrive at each show.
Clean your area (put make-up and street clothes in your box) prior to Circle Up.
All conversations must be kept down to a whisper while the show is in
progress. Only quiet activities are allowed.
You are responsible to listen for your cues.
Take care of your costume after the show.
Obey Green Room Parents and staff.
AFTER THE SHOW
Cast members have 15 minutes after curtain to greet people.
Head down to the Green Room and quickly return your costume and clean up
your area. You have 15 minutes to do this. If you need more time, you need to
skip the greeting time.
IF YOU DO NOT ADHERE TO ANY OF THESE RULES, YOU WILL MISS THE NEXT
CURTAIN CALL.
