All parents and participants are required to support our mission and abide by our participation policies. Parents are required to support their students by attending all mandatory parent meetings (production specific, dates will be posted online), fulfill parent participation guidelines, ensure student partcipation policies are met, and all participation fees are paid. If you are unable to afford participation fees, apply for financial assistance here.

Are there fees associated with participating in JuMP Company?
Our current fees associated with a production include a Production Fee of $125, a Volunteer Deposit of $100, and a Materials Deposit of $50. When a production is completed, if parents and students have met the requirements for volunteer hours and material returns, those deposits will be returned.
Fees for classes, workshops and camps will be posted in conjunction with advertising of each event.
Please note that financial aid is available to those who qualify.
Is there financial assistance available for kids who can not afford the fees?
Financial Assistance is available to cover (in part or full) the cost of non-refundable fees associated with JuMP Company sponsored productions, classes, camps, and workshops.
Through generous community donors, JuMP Company can grant young students this opportunity. Please fill out the application and submit it no later than the first night of rehearsal.
Will there be callbacks?
TBD
I want to participate in a JuMP show but I'm worried that my busy schedule will conflict with the rehearsal schedule. Should I even audition?
Absolutely! We understand that kids are busy, especially our older kids. Participating in a JuMP Company show is a big commitment. We encourage everyone to make rehearsals a priority as it affects the success of the production. If you have schedule conflicts prior to our no miss days, we ask that you notify us on your audition sheet so that we are aware and can work around those absences. Please be aware that every show has a NO MISS period with the date to be determined by the director and announced at the beginning of the rehearsal process.
If you have conflicts during that time period you would need to work out those conflicts. Typically the only exception to our no miss dates is a family emergency, or a contagious illness. Put ALL conflicts on your audition form. If you state your conflicts on your audition form and you are cast, you will not be accountable for those absences. If you do not put your conflicts (especially those on NO MISS dates) on your audition form and tell us after rehearsals have begun, you face the possibility of being cut from the show. We will discuss specifics of our attendance policy at parent night. If you are unable to participate in a show because of schedule conflicts, we encourage you to explore the other educational opportunities we have available.
What if I audition and don't get the role I want?
We understand that it can be disappointing to not get the role you wanted. At JuMP Company, we believe that every role is important. We would encourage you to accept whatever role is given to you and are confident that you will find satisfaction in being a part of this musical theatre community. The benefits of your overall experience will be a blessing to you as you work hard, contribute in positive ways, push yourself to grow and develop your talents and encourage others to do the same. If you are discouraged by the results of the cast list, hang in there. Trust the creative team and embrace the important role you have and the contributions you can make as the uniquely talented individual that you are.
Are there ways for me to be involved in JuMP Company that don't involve performing on stage?
Yes! There are so many aspects to the performing arts, many of which are not in the spotlight. One of JuMP Company’s main goals is to help the kids in our community to grow in their education of theatre. If you have an interest in stage crew, building sets or props, doing hair or makeup, or costuming, we would welcome your help. If you are interesting in helping in any of these ways please contact us via Facebook messenger or jumpcompanytwinfalls@gmail.com
As a parent or community member, are there ways for me to be involved?
Yes! JuMP Company is a volunteer run organization. We are always looking for help. If you have a child who will be participating in our shows, you can find participation requirements here. This information will also be covered at our mandatory parent meeting. See the show information page for date and time. If you are an adult who would like to volunteer but you do not have children participating in one of our productions, we welcome your help as well. Please contact us via Facebook messenger or email at jumpcompanytwinfalls@gmail.com for more information.
