To help our program run more smoothly and consistently, please note and adhere to the following policies for all workshops:

·        Registrations can be made in person at the Center in Mahopac at 854 Route 6 T-W-Th 12-1pm and on Saturdays at Trinity Lutheran Church 10 minutes before a class begins( see acting class schedules for Brewster or TLC). or by mail PCDC PO Box 222, Carmel, NY 10512 or via fax if using a credit card (845) 276-2078.

• Pre-registration for the plays is a MUST.  Approximately a month before the first rehearsal aka the casting call / audition the opportunity to register will end.  Registration forms can be found online or by calling (845) 621-1260 ext 306.

•   Late registrants after Play registration closes and before the first two rehearsals are occasionally permitted, however, they are responsible for the entire registration fee plus a $30 late fee.  Late registrants to the Play Performance workshop are admitted at the discretion of the instructor.

• There is some flexibility on the acting classes where walk-ins are accepted.

• We do not send registration confirmation notices.  We will, however, contact you if there is a question about your registration or if the workshop is cancelled.    

·        Late registrants (after the first day of a  class: ie Actors Workshop or Stories Alive) are permitted, the class may be pro-rated at the instructors discretion. 

·        Walk-ins are welcome, in the Actors Workshop or Stories Alive Programs with the following caveats:

o       There is no auditing of classes unless you contact us in advance to make arrangements

o       If you decide to register your child after auditing a class, payment must be made in full

o       There is a nonrefundable $10 fee for auditing a class, which will be applied to your registration fee if you decide to register your child

·        There are no refunds or fee reductions for missed classes.    

·        All workshops must be paid in full by the first class.

·        In the event of inclement weather, PCDC may cancel classes.  Announcement of cancelled classes will be made on the radio that morning.  There is a designated make-up day per session for cancelled classes.  

·        For the comfort of all students and the smooth running of the class, we request that all parents depart the teaching area after dropping off their children.  There is a room at the Center in Mahopac where parents can stay if they prefer to be on site.  

·        Food and drinks are not permitted during class .

• Students are expected to attend all Play Performance Workshop rehearsals.

If a student misses more than 2 consecutive rehearsals, the instructor, at her discretion, may reassign that student’s part.
