Register at least one week prior to the start of the class.

SAFETY & ETIQUETTE EXPECTATIONS
All students will be expected to behave according to basic safety and etiquette rules set forth by their Teaching Artist and by the Theatre on the first day of class (or via a welcome email from your Teaching Artist prior to the first class). A verbal warning will be given for the first infraction and a formal warning will be issued to the student and parents after the second infraction of these classroom rules. After repeated infractions or if a child’s behavior becomes a safety concern or impedes the class from functioning harmoniously as a whole, Adventure Theatre reserves the right to discharge the child from further participation in the class.

CASTING
One of the primary goals we strive to impress upon the students in our Musical Theatre Workshops is that “There are no small parts, only small actors.” We encourage teamwork, corporation & generosity of spirit to stage a play all our kids can all be proud of. As a parent of our Musical Theatre Workshop students, please be supportive at home of our philosophies and programming: While every student is guaranteed a role and an on-stage presence in our Musical Theatre Workshop productions, all casting decisions are at the sole discretion of the Adventure Theatre Staff and/or the Director of the production.

CLASS SIZE
Adventure Theatre reserves the right to cancel any class or program not meeting minimum enrollment requirements. Refunds will be issued accordingly.

PHOTOS/VIDEO
Adventure Theatre reserves the right to use photos or video recordings taken during the course or a program or class for promotional purposes only.

ILLNESS
In the interest of the overall safety of our children, in the event that your child becomes ill, Adventure Theatre asks that you refrain from allowing your child to participate in our programming until 24 hours after their fever has broken or until 72 hours after the child has seen their physician and/or received antibiotics. No refunds will be issued for classes missed due to illness.*

If Adventure Theatre and/or Glen Echo Park closes to prevent the spread of the flu or for any other reason, Adventure Theatre will offer an additional class on Make-Up Day (see below).

CLOSING/INCLEMENT WEATHER
If Montgomery County Public schools are closed or dismisses students early due to inclement weather, all Adventure Theatre classes will be cancelled for the day. If Montgomery County Public schools are opening late, Adventure Theatre classes scheduled before noon will be cancelled; those after noon will proceed. Your instructor will also notify you in the event of a class being cancelled via email. For up-to-date information about class cancellations due to inclement weather, please refer to TV/Radio/Web announcements made on behalf of MCPS and a call from your child’s instructor. For Glen Echo Park closings, please call the GEPPAC weather hotline at 301.320.2330.

In the event Adventure Theatre and/or Glen Echo Park closes to prevent the spread of the flu or for any other reason, your Adventure Theatre Instructor will notify you;an additional class will be offered on Make-Up Day (see below).

MAKE UP DAYS
A make-up day for our Seasonal Semester classes is built into each semester’s class schedule and usually falls on the Friday or Saturday following the last weekday class. In the event of a cancellation due to inclement weather, instructor illness, park closings or for any other reason emanated by the Theatre, this make-up class will serve as a replacement for any regularly scheduled missed session. This make up class will meet at the same time as your weekday classes unless otherwise noted to you by the Instructor or the Theatre. Prior notification will be given if and when this make up day will take place.

Make-up classes will not be held in order to accommodate any classes missed by a student for personal reasons, family scheduling conflicts or student illness.

Adventure Theatre will only offer one Make-up Day per semester. If more than one class is cancelled per semester due to inclement weather or for any other unforeseen reason, only one Make Up class will be offered as compensation. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
