Parent Participation

Journey Theater Arts Group Parent Participation

Parent involvement is a unique part of our theater arts
education program. Without the support of parents,
Journey could not produce high-quality, community-pleasing
shows.   Parents of cast members are required to serve on a
Parent Committee and attend the First and Second Parent
Meetings, which are held during rehearsals.  Parents new to
a venue are also required to attend a short meeting on Move In
day.

Parent Committee Assignments
Since Journey is a family oriented organization, parents of each
student cast in the production serve on one or two of several
production committees.  These committees are called “Parent
Committees” and include costumes, sound, lighting,
refreshments, publicity and many more! Each parent committee
supports an aspect of the show.
Mandatory Parent Meetings
Our First Parent Meeting is where cast parents are given lots of
information on show-related things; from scripts to tickets sales
and everything in between.  Parents also meet with their
committee at this time to get their assignments.

Our Second Parent Meeting focuses on all the information cast
and crew parents will need for our time at the theater.  Parents
also meet with their committees during this meeting.

Parent Meeting Conflict
If you know in advance that you cannot attend a parent meeting, you may send another adult in your place who meets these criteria:
·      They are not already required to attend the meeting
(as a parent of another child in the show)
·      They can sit in your committee meeting, gather your
assignments and communicate them to you.
You must email the Show Coordinator, in advance, to let her
know you will not be at the meeting and who will be taking your
place.  Please also let the Show Coordinator if you have an
emergency and will not be able to attend.

If You Miss a Parent Meeting and do not send someone to
take your place, follow these steps:
Communicate your absence to the Show Coordinator as
soon as possible
1. Contact your committee chair to get their committee
assignments within 24 hours of the meeting.
2. Choose one of the following consequences and
communicate your choice via email to your
Show Coordinator:                
   
  • Volunteer in the Journey office or warehouse for 4 hours  (as projects are available)
  • Sell $150 in program ads prior to the next audition date
  • Pay a fee of $50 within two weeks

3. Child(ren) may not audition the next time they are
enrolled in a class
