A word with which too many people are unfamiliar, it seems - or at least they have varying degrees of interpretation. I'm sure that, along with your disseminated list of expectations, you included a list of consequences for non-compliance. The only acceptable excuses for missing rehearsals in my own book are: 1. Death (participant's) 2. The theatre burns to the ground. Consequences can include: 1. Lifelong ban from any future theatrical endeavors under my jurisdiction. 2. Failing grade in the class. 3. Ecclesiastical anathema. 4. Verbal drawing and quartering. Tough, you say? That's nuthin' compared to what is possible in the REAL world. Life is all about commitment, and the sooner these apprentice human beings (and their PARENTS) figure that out, the better off they will be. My condolences, girlie. I know it's frustrating. Hang in there. From one trouper to another - break a leg! PK Ah, yes; the ‘C’ word.
