Q: I want to participate in a JuMP show but I'm worried that my busy schedule will conflict with the rehearsal schedule. Should I even audition?
A: Absolutely! We understand that kids are busy, especially our older kids. Participating in a JuMP Company show is a big commitment. We encourage everyone to make rehearsals a priority as it affects the success of the production. If you have schedule conflicts prior to our no miss days, we ask that you notify us on your audition sheet so that we are aware and can work around those absences. Our NO MISS period begins June 3, 2024. If you have conflicts during that time period you would need to work out those conflicts. Typically the only exception to our no miss dates is a family emergency, or a contagious illness. Put ALL conflicts on your audition form. If you state your conflicts on your audition form and you are cast, you will not be accountable for those absences. If you do not put your conflicts (especially those on NO MISS dates) on your audition form and tell us after rehearsals have begun, you face the possibility of being cut from the show. We will discuss specifics of our attendance policy at parent night.
Q: What if I audition and don't get the role I want?
A: We understand that it can be disappointing to not get the role you wanted. At JuMP Company, we believe that every role is important. We would encourage you to accept whatever role is given to you and are confident that you will find satisfaction in being a part of this musical theatre community. The benefits of your overall experience will be a blessing to you as you work hard, contribute in positive ways, push yourself to grow and develop your talents and encourage others to do the same. If you are discouraged by the results of the cast list, hang in there. Trust the creative team and embrace the important role you have and the contributions you can make as the uniquely talented individual that you are.
