CLASS JOBS AND ECONOMY

Your place in the company.

Class jobs give you a chance to lead, organize, and help your ensemble. The classroom economy notices how we show up for that work.

HOW THE ECONOMY WORKS

Individual and class accounts

Class money is a practice tool for responsibility and teamwork. It is separate from your theatre proficiency score.

01 / YOUR ACCOUNT

Individual money

You can earn money by arriving ready, being on time, doing productive work, and following the phone routine. Tardiness, missed work time, and off-task or phone choices can affect your balance. Ask Mr. Johnson if you are unsure how a day was recorded.

02 / OUR ACCOUNT

Class money

Your period builds a shared balance through its work together. This belongs to the class, rather than to one student. The class can work toward shared privileges or celebrations.

03 / CASH-IN

Using your money

Individual cash-in happens about every three weeks. Available rewards and their prices are announced in class. Your current balance and the price tell you what you can choose.

What about the exact amounts? Mr. Johnson shares the current earning and deduction amounts in class. Check the live store list for item prices and confirm availability before planning a purchase.
STUDENT STORE

What should we stock next?

Suggest a snack, drink, game, or other small item for the class store. Your idea goes to Mr. Johnson for review; a suggestion does not mean the item will be available.

CLASS LEADERSHIP

Jobs you can apply for

These jobs help your class work together. You do not need previous theatre experience. Mr. Johnson remains the teacher; student leaders help classmates stay organized and heard.

Director

Help a small group turn its ideas into a clear performance.

What you would do

  • Ask the group what the scene is about and what each character wants.
  • Help plan where performers stand and move so the audience can follow the action.
  • Invite ideas from everyone, help the group make choices, and keep rehearsal focused.
  • Give useful feedback: describe what you noticed and suggest one specific change to try.

This role is a good fit if you listen carefully, can explain your ideas kindly, and enjoy helping performers try different choices.

Producer

Help the group organize the work needed for an activity or performance.

What you would do

  • Make a short list of what the group needs, such as scripts, materials, or a place to rehearse.
  • Help divide tasks fairly and check that people know what they agreed to do.
  • Keep track of upcoming steps and let the group know what is ready or still needed.
  • Tell Mr. Johnson when a material, schedule, or other practical problem needs his help.

This role is a good fit if you enjoy planning, following through, and helping people work together.

Stage Manager

Help rehearsals run in an organized and predictable way.

What you would do

  • Keep track of the order of scenes or activities and help classmates know when they are needed.
  • Write down agreed-on movement, entrances, exits, and cues so the group can repeat them.
  • Help the group reset materials and get ready for the next rehearsal or run-through.
  • Notice when a transition is confusing or unsafe and bring it to Mr. Johnson's attention.

This role is a good fit if you notice details, write clear notes, and can communicate calmly when plans change.

Openings depend on what each class needs. Applying tells Mr. Johnson what interests you; it does not guarantee a position.
