Commitment Matters: Seeing a Production Through

When a student signs up to be part of a production—whether onstage or behind the scenes—they’re joining a team that relies on every member to succeed. Theater is one of the most collaborative experiences your teen can have. Every role matters, and when someone drops out, it can affect the entire cast, crew, and schedule.

We also want to clarify that Drama Club and the school play are two separate commitments. While Drama Club is an optional activity that offers fun, skill-building experiences throughout the year, participation in a play is a formal production that requires a higher level of commitment. Students do not have to be in Drama Club to audition for or be cast in a show—but once they accept a role or crew position in a production, they are expected to fully participate through to the final performance.

We understand that students have busy lives, and sometimes unexpected conflicts come up. However, barring emergencies, we ask that students honor their involvement once cast or assigned. It teaches responsibility, accountability, and the value of seeing a commitment through—skills that will benefit them far beyond the stage.

When students stay engaged from the first rehearsal to the final curtain call, they not only help ensure the show’s success, they also build confidence, teamwork, and a powerful sense of achievement. It’s an experience they’ll carry with them long after the spotlight fades.
