CODE OF CONDUCT
A message to our staff, participants, and volunteers:
In addition to bringing new patrons and volunteers into our family, we must ensure those with us stay. For that to happen, they must feel comfortable with our processes. Along with excellent communication, we strive for great appearance and etiquette.
Our theatre must be clean at all times. If you are running a rehearsal, a work crew, or a business meeting, please factor 15-30 minutes into the end of your process for clean-up. Let’s ensure floors are swept, tools are put away, and supplies are returned to cabinets. Spilled drinks and food crumbs invite bugs and critters; please keep your personal spaces clean.
We want a good relationship with our neighbors, the Fain Signature Group, the Event Center, and the Town of Prescott Valley. So if you see trash in front of the theatre to the west, the back of the theatre to the east, or anywhere in that north parking lot, please help us keep it clean and tidy.
When at the theatre or representing it, please be cautious of your attire. Avoid suggestive, inappropriate, or opinionated shirts, hats, or jackets. At least business casual is always the best approach unless you are on a work crew.
Everybody in our theatre family deserves your respect; please give it to them regardless of age, ethnicity, or background. Please be aware of body fragrances, allergies, and personal space. Sensitivities may be very different from person to person.
Remember that some things about the theatre belong behind closed doors and away from our patrons, like cast members in costume, personal discussions, theatre assets, and technology. Let’s keep the fourth wall intact.
Other etiquette items include:
Being on time, using the cast and staff doors when appropriate, showing respect for all theatre property, saving the closer parking spots for patrons, and being a great role model to those around you.
If you have questions or concerns regarding our Code of Conduct, please contact our Executive Director immediately.
