EXPECTATIONS

THE HHS THEATER STUDENT HANDBOOK

The Theater Student Handbook was developed by the HS theater director, students, and administrators based on our own experience and the work of other sucessful theater programs across the country.  Our goal is to make it easy for students and parents to quickly learn the expectations and "rules" of behavior so no one is caught off guard or surprised as we move through the rehearsal process. 

The handbook is a work in progress.  We hope to refine it, add a section on theater terms (What does he mean "exit through the burrow?"), and find ways to make it easier for students and parents to know what to expect.

CALLBOARD

How to plan your schedule:

You will need to use the ensemble breakdown and scene breakdown. 

1. Use the ensemble breakdown to determine which large group scenes you are in (named characters, you may not be listed in the ensembles).

2 Use the scene breakdown to determine which scenes your character or your ensemble is in.
Make a list of the scene numbers so you remember.  (Act 1 Scene 1 will be listed on the schedule as I.1).

3. Look at the rehearsal schedule  for a listing of scenes called that day.  Remember if we say simply  Ensemble or All on the schedule it means everyone is called.  If we are doing a sequential review or work  through of an Act, everyone is called.
