Helping keep your young performers safe is our first priority. Please implement the following guidelines.

For everyone's protection children performers are not allowed to be here by themselves. Assign at least 1 person (your head chaperone, Stage Manager, etc.) to be the first one here and the last to leave. This person should also have a list of all parent phone numbers, any cell phone numbers and any notes about who is riding with who. Assign someone to coordinate the tasks of the Chaperones. If one person can't do it all, have several parents split the work.

For their own safety children performers may not be dropped them off before the daily starting time listed in your Rental Contract. There won't be anyone here to let them in and we don't want them waiting outside by themselves. Also please stress that they be picked up on time.

As this is not always possible, please make alternate arrangements for those cast members or schedule additional building rental time.

"Unscheduled Use" (Overtime) building rental fees will apply if your cast members or staff arrive early or leave late (because this puts our staff into overtime).

Strongly suggest car-pooling and have a backup plan if someone cannot get a ride.

Adequate adult supervision is required. You are required to provide at least two chaperones.

A suggested ratio is 1 adult for each 10 (additional) young performers. Additional chaperones may be required depending on the individual needs of the event and the age/behavior of the performers. For safety reasons the casting/use of performers under the age of 6 is strongly discouraged and may not be allowed.

If parents are concerned about where their children will be and who will be watching them, have a meeting (at your studio) to "meet the chaperones", and/or schedule a few extra minutes on the first day at the KiMo to meet everyone and have a quick tour of the building.
