Q: Can each school send more than 1 group?A: Yes, it is possible. And we haven't seen any reason to limit the number of groups sent by one school.
Q: How many members are there in a team?A: Each team consists of 10 people. 7 of them are the actors/actresses, while the rest (3) can function as either sound operator, lighting operator, or other positions that are regarded important by the group.
Q: Can the lighting and the sound be operated by the school's teacher(s)?A: As much as we appreciate the teachers' eagerness to help, we are sorry to inform you that all the members of the team must be students. That means, including the sound operator, music operator, or others.
Q: So, can the teacher help the students to arrange things on the D-day?A: No, s/he cannot. All the preparations done on the day of the competition is solely the responsibility of the students that join the team. The teacher can accompany the team until they enter the incubation room (further information about the incubation room will be given in the Technical Meeting).
Q: Can the group modify the dialogue in the script?A: No, you cannot change the script's dialogue whatsoever. You have the freedom to interpret the script, but not changing what is written there.
Q: What if there is a change of team member after the registration?A: You may have a change of your member(s) as long as we are informed before the Technical Rehearsal (April 6-10,2009). Any late information will affect the name(s) written on the certificates.
Q: Can we bring and submit the entry fee on the day of the Technical Meeting?A: No, it is not allowed. Groups that haven't paid the entry fee according to the schedule are considered withdrawing themselves from the competition.
Q: Are we allowed to use microphones in the performance?A: No, you cannot use any microphones in the performance. The use of vocal chords is an essential part in representational acting. Moreover, the theatre room is a classroom sized room, the use of microphones are unnecessary.
