Participant Release Form

People’s Theatre Project requires every adult or child participant, as well as a child participant’s parents or guardians, to accept our terms of use prior to voluntary participation in our theatrical programs. Because parents and guardians may be present and involved during rehearsals or performances, People’s Theatre Project requires their release as well prior to their child’s participation. Where this release refers to a “Participant” or “Participants”, it applies to every adult and child named below. Where this release says “I”, it applies to the adult accepting the terms on behalf of each named Participant. Only a parent or legal guardian may accept the terms of this release on behalf of a child.

Physical Injury

The safety of our participants is of primary importance to us at People’s Theatre Project. People’s Theatre Project fulfills its mission to teach and empower children and adults and to promote social justice through community theatre programs. Participation in theatre programs can involve physical activity that may result in bodily injury. By participating, Participants assume the risk of injury related to physical activity in this program. I acknowledge that People’s Theatre Project and its collaborators have fully informed me of the nature of these risks. I agree to assume full responsibility for any accident or injury that occurs to a Participant while participating in any People’s Theatre Project program or while on the premises where the program is held, and I waive any right that I or the Participant may have to hold People’s Theatre Project or its volunteers, collaborators, or employees liable for any such injury to the fullest extent permitted by law, whether or not the injury resulted from the negligence of any such person.

I give consent to People’s Theatre Project to arrange emergency transportation and treatment on behalf of a Participant in the event of illness or injury, and I accept responsibility for the costs of any emergency transportation or treatment provided to a Participant. I also certify that each Participant is in good physical condition and has no medical or physical conditions that would restrict his or her participation in People’s Theatre Project programs.

Photo/Video Use

Our participants are the stars of our programs! As our stars, we may feature our participants in descriptions, photos, and videos of our programs. I hereby consent to the participation in interviews of, the use of quotes from, and the taking of photographs, movies, or video and audio recordings of, the Participants. I grant to People’s Theatre Project the right and permission to record, copyright, use, and publish photos and video and audio recordings of a Participant’s voice, portraits, likeness, or scenes, and to use a Participant’s name, for use in products to be distributed or displayed in print, on the Internet, or in other forms of media, for art, advertising, news, trade, or any other lawful purpose. I waive any right that I may have to inspect or approve any such products or their use.

Original Contributions

Our participants create new theater pieces together, and their contributions become part of our programs. I agree that that any ideas, stories, experiences, and creative artwork contributed by the Participants during the artistic process may be used and reused, edited, modified, adapted, dramatized, printed, copyrighted, and exhibited for public viewing at the sole discretion of People’s Theatre Project and its affiliates. I also grant to People’s Theatre Project and its affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, and assignable right to use such contributions in advertising, publicity, or promotional material, magazines, books, news outlets, online, or in any other manner and in any media now or later created, with or without the Participant’s name.

Release

In connection with all of the above statements, I hereby release and hold harmless People’s Theatre Project and its agents and employees from all claims, demands, and liabilities whatsoever to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of New York. If any portion of this release is found to be invalid, I agree that all remaining parts shall still continue in full legal force and effect.

I grant this release in consideration for the benefits that the Participants receive from participating in People’s Theatre Project programs. I acknowledge that I have read this release and that I fully understand its terms. I am accepting this release freely and voluntarily, and I intend it to be a binding instrument.
