UFD Program Requirements:

Commitment: Committing to the show is essential. This project should receive the same amount of commitment as a competitive athletic team, school club, or any other activity. This means occasionally moving your lives around rehearsals. This means not planning social events over rehearsals. All actors are expected to make every attempt to attend every rehearsal.

Before you register, look at your calendars carefully and note ALL conflicts so our program staff can plan accordingly. If you note more than 6 conflicts, please take time to discuss as a family if the program is something your actor can commit to.

There may be no conflicts for Tech and Performance Week
