Student Code of Ethics

As a YATA student, I commit to:

Respecting Others

• Treat all students, directors, staff, volunteers, and audience members with kindness and respect.
• Celebrate the successes of my peers.
• Encourage others rather than compete against them.

Supporting the Entire Production

• Recognize that every role contributes to the final product.
• Support leads, ensemble members, understudies, doubles, technicians, and stage management equally.
• Be a positive audience member when I am not actively rehearsing.

Being Accountable

• Arrive prepared, on time, and ready to participate.
• Learn my material and fulfill my responsibilities.
• Take ownership of my actions and mistakes.

Protecting Our Community

• Help maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming facility.
• Treat costumes, props, sets, equipment, and rehearsal spaces with care.
• Look for ways to help rather than waiting to be asked.

Demonstrating Good Character

• Avoid gossip, bullying, exclusion, or disrespectful behavior.
• Use social media responsibly and positively.
• Represent YATA with integrity both inside and outside the studio.
