Children’s Theatre of Elgin
and Fox Valley Theatre Company
Adult Code of Conduct
CTE / FVTC are non-profit 501(c)(3)
organizations basically run by parent volunteers with some outside
staff. Our
mission is to produce theatre for children by children in a nurturing and
positive environment.
The following is expected of
all adults working with CTE / FVTC:
®Adults are expected to
enable their son or daughter to arrive at rehearsals on time and stay through
the end of rehearsal.
®All language is to be
nurturing and age appropriate. Swearing and excessive yelling will not be
tolerated.
®Disciplinary tone and
actions should always be of a positive nature. The use of humiliation is never
an acceptable disciplinary technique.
®Personal, verbal,
non-verbal, physical or sexual harassment between child to child, child to
adult, or adult to adult will not be tolerated.
®All cast members, all
parent volunteers and all hired staff are important to the success of the
production; therefore, making someone feel that their role in the production is
not important will not be tolerated.
®The use of any video or
audio recording device of any kind during the auditions, rehearsals, or
performances, or the preparation for any of the same without the express consent
of the Producer is strictly prohibited. Persons violating this section will be
immediately ejected from the premises and may jeopardize their child's continued
involvement in the production or future productions.
®If at any time you see
anything that is inappropriate, direct your comments to the person in charge --
Producer or Production Coordinator.
®Concerns and/or problems
with the house (ECC or Hemmens) employees are to be brought to the attention of
the producer.
®If you have any overall
concerns regarding the production, direct your comments to the producer.
®If a child or an adult displays
inappropriate behavior it will be reviewed by the Producer who will deem final
disciplinary action which could include dismissal from the show. Disciplinary
action will be shared
with the Board of Directors. If the behavior is severe,
participation in future shows may be prohibited.
I have read and
agree to abide by the above guidelines.
