Supplies:

Students need their safety equipment and work clothes/shoes as well as a pencil, highlighter, and theatre folder daily. Students will also be using Google Drive for this course so please make sure your computers are fully charged before class. 

Behavioral Expectations:

  • SAFETY FIRST.  Abide by the safety rules covered at the beginning of class AT ALL TIMES.

  • The Golden Rule: Do unto others. Treat your classmates and instructor with respect and kindness. 

    • You WILL be grouped with people you may have trouble working with. Be mature and have a good attitude about it. 

    • There is a difference between venting and gossip. One is necessary and helpful at times, while the other is destructive and helps no one. Know which you are doing!

  • Try everything. You don’t have to love or even like everything we do in this class, but you WILL try.  You don’t know what you might excel at until you try everything available to you. 

  • Respect the space. We have a beautiful theater and we want it to stay beautiful. Pick up your messes please and thank you.

  • If you break something, tell me! I may not know how to fix it, but chances are I know someone who does.

  • Come in with a good attitude EVERY DAY. 

  • Be a leader. You represent MHS Theatre and I expect you to behave as a good representation of our Theatre Department.
