Onboarding

The first rehearsal of a production is Onboarding day, where everyone should be in attendance: cast, crew, and designers.

This is when all administrative tasks need to be completed:

1. The Director / PSM will read the rules and regulations of the theatre
2. The Director will share their expectations for how the cast and crew are to behave during the production process
3. Actors sign off on Contact Sheet information
4. Actors (or parent/guardian) sign Actor Agreements
5. Cast & crew will sign any other agreements, waivers, and releases
6. Rehearsal Schedule calendar is handed out
7. Code of Conduct is handed out
8. Actors receive Sponsorship forms
9. Actors receive and sign off on Comp Ticket Policy
10. Actors receive and sign off on Social Media Policy
11. Actors who will be utilizing weapons sign the Weapon Handling Agreement
12. The Marketing manager will ensure that anyone who didn't get a headshot picture has one taken.
13. The Costume designer will get measurements from the cast for costumes.
14. The IT manager will ensure that all actors & crew get access to
    1. the appropriate folders in the Google Drive
    2. the production's Google calendar
    3. the appropriate Google chats

The PSM is responsible to ensure that all these tasks are completed.

For shows including Youth actors/crew members the Youth agreement will be added as well as a background check for anyone working with the youth from the production team.

For youth actors, parents will be responsible for getting costume measurements. There is no exception to this rule.

After the onboarding tasks are complete, the cast will do a full read through of the script.
