After School classes will begin with a snack time. Please send a healthy, neatly-packaged, non-peanut snack with your child.
Please label your child’s belongings with his/her name.
Each child is responsible for his/hers own belongings such as backpacks, lunch bags, sweaters, electronics, etc.
Children are expected to follow all Cobb County school rules in addition to being respectful and kind to fellow performers. Children who consistently misbehave will be sent to ASP at parent expense.
No electronic device use will be allowed during class or rehearsals.
If you need your child to be dismissed before the end of the class, you should notify in advance to MTW staff, and pick up the child at the place where the class or rehearsal is being held.

A child is fully enrolled in the program when payment and application are received.
Payments are not refundable after date specified on MTW’s applications.
Payments (check, cash, or Venmo @Vicki-Chase) may be dropped off at designated spot in each school or mailed to: Vicki Chase 3546 Clubland Dr. Marietta, GA 30068.

Rehearsals will be at the school until the Technical and Dress rehearsals start. Student and parents may check MTW communications or MTWdrama.com rehearsal specifics.
Please send a neat non-peanut snack with your child if you know they will need one.
No electronic device use will be allowed during rehearsals.
Children are expected to follow all Cobb County rules and guidelines in addition to being kind and supportive to fellow performers.
All children will be bored at some point during rehearsals when they are not working on stage. Please help them to understand that is normal; as a result, please have productive activities available, e.g. homework, books, etc.

The week prior to a show is demanding. The children will have 4 rehearsals. 2 at their regularly scheduled time and place and 2 others: Technical rehearsal and Dress rehearsal. Those two will be 4 hours long on the performance stage in full costume, make-up, with props, sets, etc. For the Technical rehearsal the children will need to bring their dinner. For the Dress rehearsal a pizza (Little Caesers) / water / cookie dinner will be provided. If your child can’t eat pizza or cookies, please send them with a meal.
We ask that only parents volunteering attend rehearsals.
No flash photography is allowed during shows as it is very distracting to the actors.
Please turn off all cell phones during performances.
“Fan-o-grams” will be sold for 50 cents during intermission.
All families will be asked to donate an item to be sold at concessions during intermission (case of water, brownies, chips, etc.)
