Productions
Casting
Each
show will be cast by audition - sometimes there will be age
restrictions due to the particular production being staged.
We
cannot guarantee members a role in every production.
Rehearsals
If you are cast in a production
you are expected to attend all
rehearsals - you must advise of non-attendance in advance - you are
part of a team! Please ensure that your parents are aware of
the
rehearsal schedule issued by the producer.
Offstage roles
Live theatre is not just about
what the audience sees - there
are
many off-stage roles - why not volunteer to help backstage, with
sound/lighting, set making or front of house etc to broaden
your
experience? BYT's mission is to bring to the young people of
Berkhamsted and the surrounding area education in all aspects of the
theatre.
Performance fees
Each
member who is in a production is charged a performance
fee
(between £25 and £40 depending on the scale of the show).
This
ensures that costs are divided more fairly as not all members will be
in each show.
Membership
Annual subscriptions
These are due each summer and cover our general costs. Currently these are £10 per member.
The Annual General Meeting
The AGM is held in June each year and all members are expected to attend - we need your input! Parents are also most welcome to attend.
Committee meetings
The management committee are always interested to hear your ideas and suggestions for shows, directors, workshops and so on. The list of committee members is on this web site.
Parents
Whilst
it is you that is the member of BYT, your parents are
also
involved - so keep them aware of what is happening! We
welcome
support from your parents, particularly around production
time.
Without their help we would not be able to put our shows on.
And they've even got their own page on this site
