Please be prompt in picking up your children. Tell your child to remain in the lobby and not outside. We are not responsible for children once they leave the building. Adult supervision ends at the end of each class. Students 4-8 years old must be dropped off and picked up from their classroom.
CTA is not responsible for any lost items. It is recommended that students do not bring valuables to class.
Spring Showcase
Each school year culminates with the annual showcase, in which every school year session student may perform. Summer session students do not perform in the recital but have a smaller, in-class demonstration instead. The annual showcase gives students the opportunity to showcase what they have learned throughout the year and is meant to be a fun and exciting way to cap off the season. Costumes for the showcase will be chosen by the teacher and announced to students and parents by the end of March. Costumes range in price from $10-$100 and must be paid for in full when ordering - no later than the first week of April. Costume orders are non-refundable. Students must have a costume in order to perform. Tickets may be purchased for $10 each. Tickets for the May 4-5, 2012 showcase will go on sale April 30.
Other Performances
Certain classes may be asked to perform for main stage productions and special events. Costumes will be coordinated per performance.
Room Use
No gum, candy, food, smoking, cell phones, or beverages (other than water) are allowed in the classroom. Please bring a water bottle to class if you feel that you will need water. There will be limited permission to leave class to go to the drinking fountain.
Students should use the restroom before class. There will be limited permission to leave class to use the restroom.
Students are not allowed to use CTA classrooms with out staff supervision.
Absentees and Missed Classes
Attendance is taken at every class. If your child will not be able to attend his or her scheduled class, please contact the studio office in advance. No tuition adjustments are made for missed lessons.
Class Withdrawal
You are responsible for all aspects of class participation unless a class withdrawal form is received and entered in the computer. These are available at the Stage Door #1 desk. You are responsible for all fees incurred up to that point. Tuition is non refundable. If you withdraw on the 3rd of the month, you are responsible for that month’s tuition. Tuition is posted on the 1st and cannot be changed after that date. There will be no refunds for any reason after the first scheduled class, whether or not the student has attended those classes.
In the event that a student needs to withdraw from a class before the end of the session, a Class Withdrawal Form must be filled out to prevent further billing. Once your child is registered, you are responsible for making payments whether or not they attend class. A Class Withdrawal Form is necessary to stop billing.
Removal
While we want all participants to enjoy themselves during class time, should a student be disruptive or disrespectful, that student will be asked to leave. This is to ensure that students and instructors derive maximum benefit from the classroom experience.
Cancellation
Salina Community Theatre reserves the right to cancel a class if there is insufficient enrollment and will issue a full refund should this occur. If the Center for Theatre Arts cancels individual class time a make up class will be scheduled.

Under no circumstance should a student ever wear dance shoes outside. It is not the responsibility of the instructor or CTA for loss of materials or items left in the classroom, green room, dressing rooms, or other areas of the building.

CTA has recently changed its scholarship application process. If you have questions, please contact Jordan Martens, Education Director, at 785.827.6126 or email jordan@salinatheatre.com.
Center for Theatre Arts turns no dedicated student away for inability to pay. CTA students wishing to receive financial assistance must apply for scholarship. Two types of scholarships are available, need based, and merit based. Need based scholarship applications will be reviewed and when approved, CTA will scholarship up to 50% of the student’s cost. The scholarshipped half will be earned through specifically assigned volunteer time. The student or parent/guardian of the student will be responsible for paying the unscholarshipped portion of tuition. Merit based scholarships are based on audition and dedication to the program. Audition dates for Fall 2011 are Sunday August 14, and Sunday August 21 at 6pm. Please contact Jordan Martens, Education Director, at 785.827.6126 or email jordan@salinatheatre.com.
In order to offset the cost of operating the youth programs we ask that everyone pay at least 50% of the tuition for the classes/workshops you enroll in. This ensures we can continue paying our highly qualified staff. Any student, parent/guardian receiving scholarship is asked to repay the theatre with volunteer time. Each scholarship student will receive a specific volunteer assignment they are to complete throughout the year, along with a corresponding hourly rate that will be used to repay the scholarship moneys. Salina Community Theatre is a not for profit organization and we rely on the community for support to keep our programs running. Though some of these tasks may seem menial, please know that the theatre staff performs these tasks the rest of the year when volunteer help is not available.
1. Fill out corresponding application to what kind of scholarship you are applying for.
2. Turn in to Theatre Office.
3. If approved for Need Based Scholarship, you will be assigned a specific volunteer task and a corresponding hourly rate to repay the Salina Community Theatre. No one will receive a need based scholarship more than 50%.
4. To apply for Merit Based Scholarship, you must fill out the application, and attend one of the scheduled audition dates. More information can be found on the application.
