We will confirm that we have received it. If it is too long or not written in the first person we will return it to you so that you can change it.

guide application for a licence You must apply for a licence to appear in the production. You can download the forms you need from: www.themaninthemoon.co.uk/peterpan Complete the Licence Application and Medical Questionnaire, even if you have done this before.

contacting us

Everyone needs to write a new biography. If you haven’t written one before, please ask us and we’ll be happy to help. There are some examples here: www.themaninthemoon.co.uk/biography. Please do this by Sunday 1 November

chaperones We need one chaperone for every twelve children in the production. Chaperones play a vital part in looking after the cast during the performances. It is also an exciting opportunity to see what goes on backstage to put on the production. Without chaperones the performance is not allowed to go ahead. We have a small and dedicated group of volunteer chaperones and are always looking for more. If we are not able to find enough chaperones, we will have no other option than to use professional ones. This would increase the show fee by over £35. Being a chaperone is enjoyable and rewarding. It can take a little time to register, so if you are interested please contact your local authority as soon as possible. If you live in Surrey you can contact the Child Employment Team in the Education Welfare Service on 01483 517838 If you live in Hampshire you can contact the Child Employment Office on 01962 876300

scripts The following characters will be given a full script: Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy, John and Michael, Mr and Mrs Darling, Tootles, Nibs, Slightly, Curly, Tiger Lily, Captain Hook, Mr Smee and Starkey.

From midday Thursday until Monday morning, we do not pick up messages from the office. If you need to contact us about rehearsal, please call or text our mobiles:

These children need to bring a deposit cheque (no cash) for £10 to their first rehearsal. This will be cashed if the script is not returned in excellent condition to either Paul or Sheila, in person, by the final performance.

Paul’s Mobile: 07802 904299 or Sheila’s Mobile: 07703 325455

If you lose or damage your script, you are responsible for the full replacement value.

You may make essential markings in pencil which must be erased before it is returned. If you are not one of the characters above but would like a full script of your own to keep, they are also available to purchase for £10. They will have a complete cast list from this production in the front. Return your script by Saturday 19 December

rehearsals You must wear your MIM hoodie and production T-shirt, comfortable loose fitting trousers (no skirts), sensible flat shoes (no flip flops or shoes with wheels) and a bottle of water.

Rehearsals start and finish promptly. Late arrival will be considered as a missed rehearsal. The missed rehearsal rule would then apply for all future rehearsals.

late collection We appreciate that from time to time an emergency may prevent you from collecting your child on time. However, we reserve the right to make a late collection charge of £15 per child.

videos and photographs

If you are staying at rehearsal all day you will need to bring lunch and a drink with you. We are unable to provide facilities for reheating food or keeping it cool. Children are not allowed to use the vending machines at Lockwood.

You are not allowed to RECORD or PHOTOGRAPH the production. Due to copyright law we are not able to allow anyone to make a recording of the production. Photography is not allowed at rehearsal or backstage.

commitment

Authorised photo CDs of both teams will be available to order after the production from:

All cast members are expected to give the production 100% commitment. Failure to learn lines on time, lack of concentration or disruptive behaviour will lead to a lost role. The show fee will not be refunded. Children would be given a formal warning first before their role was lost. This is to ensure that those who do work hard will have the best possible opportunities to develop during rehearsals.

the missed rehearsal rule If you miss a rehearsal you will lose your role. However, we understand that occasionally there are last minute situations that mean there is no other option. If this happens you must contact us as soon as possible. If you miss a rehearsal without having spoken with us in advance you will lose your role. We can occasionally, at our discretion, allow you to miss a rehearsal. However, once a rehearsal is missed, a second rehearsal missed for any reason will mean a lost role. There are no exceptions to this.

arrival and departure When arriving at rehearsal it is important to check that we are there. You may not leave your child unattended outside the rehearsal venue as we accept no responsibility for them.

tickets Each cast member is expected to sell a minimum of 10 tickets to their family and friends. You will be given a publicity pack (called Bums on Seats) and an accelerator offer with reduced ticket prices, to help you do this. Details of the accelerator offer will be available at your first rehearsal on Sunday 20 September, allowing you to make a considerable saving on the regular ticket price by booking in advance. Alternatively you can book tickets with the box office directly on 01483 444789 or online. If you experience any difficulty contacting the box office/booking tickets please do not hesitate to let us know personally.

arrival and departure

lost property

Please make sure that you are not late.

Lost property is kept for one week after the play. After this, it is donated to charity.

On arrival each day parents must accompany children to the stage door outside the theatre and remain with them until a Chaperone has signed them in. We will not sign in children unless accompanied by an adult. After the performance collect your child from the same place. You must confirm collection time each day when dropping off as it is liable to change. Parents must report to a Chaperone before collecting their children. Collection more than 10 minutes late, will incur a £15 charge per child. Children are not allowed to leave with adults other than a parent unless previously arranged. Our usual password system will operate if you would like your child collected by someone else.

parking The road by the theatre is not suitable for drop-off and collection. Traffic Wardens regularly patrol and will issue parking tickets. In the past, we have had complaints and visits from the police about parents waiting in their cars, blocking the road and causing congestion in the one way system. Cars also cause a safety risk to children walking to and from the theatre. Please park away from the building and walk your child to the stage door. DO NOT bring your car to the theatre! Please do not be one of the few parents who think that the rule does not apply to them. This rule applies to everyone without exception.

food and drink Children should have eaten their main meal before arriving at the theatre for rehearsals and performances. Children should bring a light lunch/tea with them for their Dress Rehearsal on Tuesday 15 December. You may bring a bottle of water and a small snack for the interval. Sweets, chocolate, chewing gum, sugary or fizzy drinks are not allowed.

valuable items Please do not bring valuable items to the theatre as we accept no responsibility for them. Books, comics and cards are ideal in the dressing room.

medication You must leave any medicine that your child may need with a Chaperone. You will be asked to complete a Medicine Administration Consent Form.

shoes and socks If you are supplying your own shoes and socks they must be CLEAN, NAMED and left at the theatre all week.

shared costumes Everyone gets very hot during performances and can sweat a lot. As costumes are shared, we must insist that all cast members wear an effective antiperspirant deodorant. Please ensure that children are wearing suitable underwear.

presentations Following the successful change in the day of our presentations we will be making them after the Friday performances on 18 December. Parents are welcome to come to the presentation after the show, even if they do not have tickets for the performance. The presentations will last approx 30 minutes. We will confirm the time during the week of the production.

see the show The cast can (subject to availability) buy a £4 ticket to see the show. These tickets are limited to one per cast member, fifteen minutes before the performance begins, from the Box Office. We cannot guarantee that tickets will be available. To guarantee a ticket to see the show we recommend that you buy one in advance. The Man In The Moon 9 Beacon Hill Road HINDHEAD : : GU26 6NR Telephone / Fax: 01428 608866 ww.themaninthemoon.co.uk
