Schedule Conflicts:
DREAM PLAYERS PRODUCTIONS' CONFLICT POLICY
We strongly recommend that you plan your extended family vacation after the show is over. It is very difficult to produce a quality show if we have numerous cast members missing a lot of rehearsals due to summer vacations. The staff does not have time to re-teach blocking and dances that they have missed. Part of Dream Players Productions commitment to you is to provide a positive learning experience and this is difficult to accomplish if attendance is poor. Every cast member is important and there is a hole when they are missing. Please read our conflict policy and look at the dates we have posted in order to make a well-informed decision before participating in one of our summer productions.
Rehearsal times will vary from one role to another as rehearsals are scheduled around scenes. Therefore, some participants will rehearse more often than other participants. Once you receive your audition form --you are asked to indicate if you have regular rehearsal conflicts during the week and on weekends.
Note:: A complete rehearsal schedule is not available at this time.
ALL PUBLISHED REHEARSAL TIMES AND DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Rehearsals will begin: The week of August 1, 2010ALL PARTICIPANTS are required to attend dress rehearsal every night of performance week. These rehearsals are vital for everyone in the company – please do not have your child audition if they are unable to attend.
We anticipate rehearsals running well into the evening the week of the show.
ATTENDANCE/CONFLICT POLICY DETAILS
1. We require you to submit all conflicts during the auditions.
2. All conflicts must be handed in by the last night of callbacks.
3. Additional conflicts or new conflicts are considered unexcused absences, and may lead to being dropped from the show.
3a. If a performer is forced to withdraw because of too many conflicts, no tuition will be refunded.
4. We accept two unexcused absences and we do keep track of unexcused absences.
5. We reserve the right to not cast a participant if that person has an excessive number of conflicts.
6. Participants may have NO conflicts during technical weeks (the last two and a half weeks of rehearsals before the show opens.)

ADVICE: Please do not wait until the last minute to order your music online and/or from a local store. It often takes a couple of weeks for shipping. Also—we strongly suggest practicing/reviewing your sheet music with a pianist before your audition. Do not assume the CD/Radio version of your song is the same as your sheet music. Hearing the sheet music version of a song for the first time during an actual audition will not allow you to perform at your best!!!Online Sheet Music Resources:

ADVICE: Please do not wait until the last minute to order your music online and/or from a local store. It often takes a couple of weeks for shipping. Also—we strongly suggest practicing/reviewing your sheet music with a pianist before your audition. Do not assume the CD/Radio version of your song is the same as your sheet music. Hearing the sheet music version of a song for the first time during an actual audition will not allow you to perform at your best!!!
