• Please bring a pencil, your script, and a recording device to music rehearsals (ie. cell phone).

• Muncie Civic Theatre reserves the right to immediately remove from any production, at any time, any actor whose behavior proves to be detrimental to the safety and well-being of another performer, staff member, or volunteer involved with the creative process. Such behavior includes, but is not limited to, showing up to the theatre intoxicated or otherwise under the influence of a controlled substance; physically or verbally threatening or harming another individual, or willfully causing physical damage to the theatre itself. In addition, any behavior in the community which calls into question the character of any volunteer and which, in the sole determination of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, would reflect poorly on the theatre if that volunteer were to continue their participation in any program or production, is grounds for the volunteer’s participation to be terminated.
