COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES
Rather than running our summer sessions with 44 kids, each session will be broken up into 4 smaller casts with no more than 14 children and 3 adults (the director, assistant director, and counselor). The small cast size will allow each cast to rehearse and perform in a socially distant way, with children being kept six feet away from one another. Each cast will have its own entrance and exit to the building and will be in a dedicated space in the rehearsal studio or designated outdoor area. Casts will be kept separated throughout the day and will not mingle.

All participants are required to bring a mask every day. Masks will be worn while indoors or if children are unable to socially distance outside. A significant portion of each day will be spent outdoors (weather permitting).

If a child falls ill, we ask parents to inform staff and share their child's symptoms. If a child presents with symptoms that may be COVID-19, we will inform the families in that child's cast that a child has presented with possible symptoms. We may also suspend the session or move to virtual rehearsals until the symptomatic child has been tested.

TUITION*
$1,050 Regular Registration - Subsidized tuition
$1,584 - Actual cost tuition

Did you know Random Farms is a non-profit and tuition only covers 60% of the cost of putting a child through the program?

Our subsidized tuition prices make participating affordable to a more diverse community. We ask families to choose the tuition tier they can afford on good faith; no application for the subsidized tuition is required.

Please consider paying the actual cost, and everything over the subsidized tuition amount will be a tax-deductible donation! This will help support our outreach efforts, which include providing scholarships, discounted tickets, and free performances to those in need.

*Each registrant is also responsible for a $10 processing fee at the time of registration.

REFUND POLICY
Covid-19 Accommodations:
Register with peace of mind! Program credits and refunds will be available for the full value of the subsidized tuition if Random Farms is unable to run a summer session. Program credits and refunds will also be available for the partial value of subsidized tuition if the program can only run virtually for part or all of the session. If your plans for the summer change, we will happily transfer your child to an alternate session provided there is availability.

SCHOLARSHIPS
A limited number of financial aid packages are available. Please click here for info and application.

COSTUMES
Random Farms is thrilled to bring back costumes! We will make every effort to minimize shared costume pieces, and anything that is shared will be sanitised between wearings. Each performer will be asked to provide their own shoes. We will send out a detailed costume memo at the beginning of each session.

PARTICIPATION POLICY
For the protection of your child, other children, and our staff, please do not bring your child to rehearsal if they are sick or have had a fever within the past 48 hours. Absences due to illness will be at the discretion of the director and will be excused as long as it is deemed safe to allow the child to continue in the program. Please do not register if you have any conflicts. "Shadowing" (making up a missed rehearsal) is not permitted during two-week intensives.

SESSION 1: THE LITTLE MERMAID JR.

SHOW DESCRIPTION
Journey "under the sea" with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney's The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney's Broadway production and the motion picture. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories, Disney's The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.

In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home – and her fins – behind and live in the world above.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical KIDS.

Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
