THEATRICAL WORK ON PRODUCTIONS OFF CAMPUS.
As a Rhode Island College student, we expect that your first priority will be the productions at RIC.  For all performers, it is required that you will audition for all 4 RIC Mainstage productions.  If you do and are not cast, you may notify the Managing Director of Theatre (in writing) for permission to audition for an off-campus production. For technicians and designers, priority must be given to on campus productions. Outside work must be approved ahead of time by Chris and Alan.

PUNCH CARDS:
Attendance at all RIC Theatre events is mandatory, regardless of whether or not you are performing, including Mainstage and Growing Stage performances.  Attending performances is part of your education!
All students must attend the following 10 events:
·         Fall Welcome Meeting
·         Open dress for all 4 Mainstage shows, and the 2 Growing Stage shows
·         Spring Welcome Meeting
·         The ACTF send off
·         Senior Showcase on campus


CLASS ATTENDANCE
Courses are organized on a principal of student growth through active participation.  Lectures and assignments are carefully placed throughout the semester to aid the acquisition of knowledge and understanding.  Therefore, attendance and participation are expected at all class meetings.  All assignments must be handed in on time.  No make-ups will be allowed without prior instructor approval. For a class that meets twice a week, the final grade will be lowered by a full letter grade if the number of absences exceeds two. For a class that meets once a week, the final grade will be lowered by a full letter grade if the number of absences exceeds one. There are no excused absences and incompletes will only be given in accordance with college policies.

WHAT IS THTR 178, 278, 378 AND 478? WHAT IS THTR 091? And how do they work?
Questions on this? Talk to Chris Abernathy!
