All communications are through email from Arts Alive.  Please do not call the office with questions about the play.

Unless otherwise noted, all Tues/Thurs rehearsals at Hampden Meadows School end at 4:30 pm for all students. Sunday rehearsals at Cutler Mill end at 4:00pm unless otherwise noted.

You do NOT need to send in a dismissal note for rehearsals. Arts Alive! staff will provide a list of children participating in rehearsals each week for sign-out.

Please be on time to pick up your child. If your child remains in our care 15 minutes beyond the designated pick-up time, you will incur a $10.00 late pick up fee per family for every 10 minutes beyond the one time 15 minute grace period (i.e., 1-10 minutes late, $10.00; 11-20 minutes late, $20.00, etc.). Late fees must be paid immediately. Consistent late pick ups may result in your child being removed from the program. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

While we are confident that your experience with Arts Alive will be a positive one, we have outlined our refund policy below. All refund requests must be made in writing and submitted to admin@artsalivebarrington.org.

If a registered student decides not to participate in the Arts Alive school program:
– A full refund, minus a $30 processing fee will be given if the student withdraws, prior to the first day of auditions
– A 50% refund will be given for withdrawal after auditions have started but before the cast list is posted
– A 25% refund will be given after cast lists have been posted but prior to the first rehearsal
– No refunds will be given once rehearsals have begun. Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.

School Attendance/ Early Dismissal/ Sickness
If a student is absent from school or dismissed from school early due to illness or health concerns, they will not be permitted to participate in any Arts Alive! after school activities, including rehearsals, tech week events, or performances.

Head Lice
If a participant is diagnosed with head lice, Arts Alive! will require that they receive at least one treatment prior to returning to rehearsal, tech week events, or performances. Given the nature of our programs in which students are in close proximity and may often have costume pieces stored together in backstage areas during performance, we want to do our due diligence to ensure there is no further spread.
