All students from Abigail Francisco School of Classical Ballet are invited to participate in the Spring Production. This is an option that must be taken seriously by each student and parent. It is both a time and financial commitment. The spring production is an opportunity for students to experience the stage and all the preparations leading up to the performance and provide parents an opportunity to see their child’s improvement.
Students performing in the classical ballet portion of the production must have additional rehearsals and classes with a cost of $110.00 and the payment is due by the last Saturday in January.
Students performing in the Spring Production who miss rehearsals and/or 3 classes between March and May will not be allowed to participate.
2018 Spring Production Contract
Production Fee
Each student participating in the production will be required to pay a production fee of $225. Included in your production fee are two orchestra seat tickets and a Professional video of the production via internet link. $100 of this fee is due at registration, and $125 is due by April 7, 2018. You may choose to solicit two business ads (personal ads not included) instead of making the $100 of the second payment and only the $25 will be due (by April 7, 2018). If you choose to solicit the two business ads, the cost of your production fee is reduced, factoring in the value of the tickets and the video. This fee helps to cover stage rental, lighting, scenery, tech crew and the $1 million Liability Insurance the school is required to carry for the production by the Calvert County Board of Education.
Costume Fees
The costume fees are due by the last Saturday in October.
Some costumes may require separate props and/or shoes as necessary to the character they are portraying (i.e., wigs, hats, crowns, additional makeup) and this fee is due upon notice of cost. Certain roles may require an additional costume or rental fee. If your costume fee has not been paid by the due date, we will be unable to order your costume.
Alterations can be expected on all student’s costumes.
Costume: $85 per costume (late fee = $20)
Vaganova III & IV, invited Vaganova II:
Prices range from $250 to $450, payment of $150 is due by the last Saturday in October.
