Welcome to the MAD Program!
Welcome to our MAD class!
Here are some important details:
Here are some important details:
- MAD is at Wood Street Centre (411 Wood Street, corner of 5th Avenue and Wood Street)
- We begin our day at 8:45am, but most students will arrive between 8:30 and 8:40am, and we finish at 3:00pm
- School buses arrive around 8:40am, and pick up around 3:10pm, city bus drops most at 2nd and Steele and they walk)
- Dress for mess! We get dirty and sweaty because we lift, carry, and paint everything! Work clothes in class is absolutely necessary. While in theatre classes our theatre wear is super-neutral, industry standard of high-neck t-shirt and gym pants or leggings for easy movement, with an eye on being able to perform as any one and anything (referred to as blacks), the tradition of no jeans has been altered to an only in the classroom setting. When weʼre in the theatre weʼre in our traditional blacks.
- You all get your own locker in the classroom which you can design with chalk.
- Student phones go in the "phone jail" for privacy concerns around performing and to avoid unnecessary distractions while in class, so please direct all calls to the Wood Street office at (867) 667-8413. Students get their phones at lunch, but lunch can be little short on busy show days!
- No visitors upstairs, please, but parents are welcome to come up at lunch if you need, just check in with the office to the right as you come through the doors, where L.J. can greet you!
