Parent/Guardian and Cast Information

Cast City Fees & Registration

Main Cast ONLY - $90 non-refundable, payable to the City of Buena Park. This fee covers creative staff fees, rehearsal space, and the royalty rights for the show. Main cast fees can be made online ($90). 

Junior Cast ONLY – Junior’s do need to be registered with the City, however there is a $0 fee due for Junior Registration to the City of Buena Park.  

BPYT Participation and Materials Fee 

Junior & Main Cast - $200 payable to Friends of BPYT (see the Executive Production Manager if payment arrangements need to be made.) This fee covers costumes (except shoes), sets, cast shirts, scripts, and other program expenses.

Parent/Guardian Registration 

Fingerprint: Forms will be distributed at the first parent meeting. ALL Main Cast Volunteers and Junior Parents/Guardians are required to fill out a release form and those 18 years of age or older must be fingerprinted at Buena Park Police Department specifically for this program. This is in accordance with City and program requirements.  

Volunteer / Mandatory Requirements (for Main Cast ONLY): 

Parent volunteers are needed to put on a high caliber production! We want you to complete your volunteer requirements. We provide a variety of opportunities, such as assisting with sets, fundraising, costumes, props, and taking home projects to meet the requirements. These volunteer requirements include 20 pre-show hours, 2 tech nights, and 4 shows.

Volunteer Deposit (Main Cast Only)

You will write two separate checks OR fill out an ACH form per family: $200 and $200

• One $200 check/ACH form is returned if you complete 20 pre-show volunteer hours. Parent(s) are responsible for tracking volunteer hours on the form you are provided with this handbook. You will submit this form at the conclusion of the program to receive your $200 check back.
• The second $200 check/ACH form is returned upon completion of 2 tech nights and 4 shows. 
• Volunteers 18 years and older must complete fingerprinting through the City of Buena Park specifically for this program, if you have not done so for a prior show. This is free and easy to complete. Fingerprinting must be complete  or you will not be eligible to volunteer and will forfeit your $200 checks.
• If you have a child in the junior cast and a child in the main cast, you are exempt from the second volunteer obligation / fee requirement because your volunteer requirement will be during tech week and shows while you are volunteering your time in the junior room. 

Fingerprinting must be completed or you will not be eligible to volunteer and will be required to pay the volunteer fee. The City registration fees and BPYT participation fees must be paid unless prior arrangements have been made with the Executive Production Manager.
