ABT’s Academy for Young Performers is devoted to theatre education for young performers. The Academy introduces, instills, and inspires young people to develop an appreciation for the performing arts with the culmination of a fully staged musical at the end of their time with us.

Here is some important information and friendly reminders to ensure a fun and successful program.

Checking-In/Out

Each evening a parent/guardian must walk your child to the check-in table located in front of the building to properly check-in with our T.A.s.

This same protocol will need to be followed when retrieving your child at the end of the night.

What to Wear

Please come to rehearsal each day clean and in loose fitting clothing that promotes movement.  Dresses and skirts are discouraged.  As a safety precaution, please wear CLOSED TOED shoes. No clogs, sandals, flip flops, or Crocs.   Each young performer will receive an academy shirt, these shirts may be worn as part of your costume for the performance.   If costume pieces need to be provided from home, we will make sure these needs are communicated in a timely manner. 

Ticket Policy

Information regarding ticketing will be sent out closer to the start of this program. 

Illness

If illness occurs during our program dates, please inform our Education Director, Amy Garland by calling or texting 818-720-2140 prior to the start of rehearsal.  Please note that due to the timeline of this program missing a day or two of rehearsal may result in less opportunity within the performance.  We will try to catch-up your young performer on what they have missed, but it may not always be possible and will be assessed on a case by case basis.  

Conduct

Bullying Policy

ABT strives to create a safe, welcoming, and positive environment for all its students.  With this in mind, we have a 0-tolerance bullying policy.  Should an incident occur we have in place a three-step action plan.  Step 1: Instructors talk to the student(s) privately and give verbal warning. Step 2: Student’s parent/guardian is contacted and brought in to create a solution.  Step 3: Dismissal from the program. If a student inflicts physical assault on a fellow student, they will be dismissed from the program immediately.  

Please note that siblings attending this program may have different familiarity while at home, however, siblings  will be held to the same standard as non-siblings when it comes to physical and verbal boundaries. 

Please also note that the following behavior is not allowed at any time and could end up in dismissal from the program:

Inappropriate or aggressive physical contact.

Expressions or jokes that are of a bigoted, racist, or sexual nature.

Expressions or jokes that may be harmful to another student or instructor.

Possession or distribution of inappropriate content (including photos and videos).

Possession or distribution of any illegal substances including alcohol, drugs or vaporizers.

Cellphones are not permitted during the hours of your camp.  Campers may bring cellphones in case of emergency, but they must remain out of sight at all times.

If you have any questions or concerns between now and the beginning of this program, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Education Director, Amy Garland at AmyG@azbroadway.org.
