| There are just a few points of interest you will need to know prior to registering or auditioning for classes. We accept credit cards for tuition payments and ticket sales. To charge a tuition payment or tickets, please visit our HOME page and click the "Make A Tuition Payment" button or the "Purchase Tickets" button. You may also charge your deposit at the end of the registration process, just click the button on the confirmation page. If you prefer, you may mail your check for a deposit for the class to the address below as soon as possible. Please see the class descriptions for details on payments specific to each class. Generally, for theatre classes, the required deposit is $50.00 and payments are accepted throughout the class process. Single-day classes or clases priced at $149 or less should be paid in full at time of registration. Deposits are non-refundable. The deposit does go toward the tuition for the class. If a balance is carried on any account without payment being received for 6 months or longer, an interest charge of 1.5% per month will be added to all balances. We do refer accounts over 90 days past due for collections. Prior to registering for any class, please be sure you are knowledgeable about the content of material. There are scripts or books available at most public libraries for many of the shows we do, and our office is pleased to discuss any issues of content with you. It is YOUR responsibility to know what you are registering for. Once you come to the first rehearsal of a class, you will be billed for the tuition in its entirety. The Rising Curtain has comparatively high production values and we are happy to discuss any of our projects with you PRIOR to your decision to register. Attending a first rehearsal or any audition for a class constitutes your desire to be a part of the production. PLEASE DO NOT AUDITION for any class you are not sure you want to be a part of. In addition, only audition for classes where you will be willing to accept any casting decisions. We thank you for registering and look forward to working with your family! Further Details: Students are expected as good caretakers of our rented property to help with clean up each week. Your student may be assigned at least one or two times during a class to stay late & help with clean up. If your student cannot help on their assigned week, it is their responsibility to find an alternate to take their place. Parents must be responsible for picking up students from class in a timely manner. Please recognize that our teaching staff has other obligations to attend or families to get home to. We expect to wait to accommodate student pick up for approximately 10 minutes after the end of class. After this time, we will assess a charge to your account of $10.00 for each 15 minutes you are late picking up, rounding up to the nearest 15 minutes. Of course, we understand that emergencies and situations such as lost keys, appointments running late, etc. can happen. We offer a one time grace from this policy. Any funds collected for late pick-up will go directly to the teaching staff who needed to attend the student in question. Each family enrolled with The Rising Curtain will be asked each year to participate in a fund-raising event to benefit the school. This may be a letter-writing pledge campaign or sales of some fund-raising item. Although we do not require families to participate in fund-raising, we hope you will see this as a necessary element to our school calendar each year. Though we are tuition based, tuition alone cannot possibly cover the costs associated with our facility and overhead costs. We thank you in advance for assisting us through your participation. Your child may be asked to participate in other fund-raising ventures as needed for a particular show. We also ask for assistance at the production time of classes you are involved with. Many hands make light work! From time to time, we utilize photos taken of our students for brochures and advertising needs and on our website. Your class registration allows us such use without compensation or notification to our families. If you prefer your child's photo not be used, please inform our office. The Rising Curtain offers a variety of activities outside of classes for our students who are interested in cultivating their theatre experiences. All additional "field trips", educational trips, school booster sportswear and additional items are options to our families and are not required. Parent Boosters: Theatre is a cooperative effort. We ask that all families volunteer to help on such committees as ticket sales, hospitality, concessions or facilities 15 hours each year over 3 events. Details about the parent boosters will come home with your student(s) or through e-mail for each production class. Participation Waiver: Due to the inherent risks involved in the variety of activities in which students of The Rising Curtain Theatre & Dance Academy will participate, I recognize and accept that participation in any activities offered by the school have obvious and necessary risks. By agreeing to this waiver, I state that the child to be named on the registration form is in the proper physical, mental and emotional condition to participate in such activities. I waive right to any and all claims that I may have against the owner(s) of the rental space and The Rising Curtain Theatre & Dance Academy and its faculty, staff or volunteers for any injuries or accidents my child may suffer as a result of their participation. I understand that in the event of an emergency when I cannot be reached, permission is hereby granted to The Rising Curtain Theatre & Dance Academy to secure medical treatment for my child. I give permission for an emergency physician to treat the person named. I accept responsibility for all medical expenses incurred. CHECK POLICY: If a check is returned by your bank for any reason, there is a fee of $25. If there is a second incident of a check being returned, there is a fee of $50 and checks will no longer be accepted. Replacement funds for checks must be made with secured payment (cash, cashier's check or money order). The Rising Curtain P.O.
