After the audition, Bubblegum may talk to you about the role and your child’s prospects. Here are some of the terms we may use and the details we may give you.

AVAILABILITY CHECK

On occasions, your availability may be checked by Bubblegum prior to or after your audition. This does not mean you have secured the job; it’s simply to check your availability.

CONTRACTS FOR ROLES

Bubblegum may send or email contracts to you for your signature and perusal. These have to come back to us ASAP (within the week as payment can depend on the contract’s signatory). 

Be aware that the part your child has been booked for may not always be the part they end up playing. Unfortunately this is beyond Bubblegum’s control. Once again, we ask that you please contact us if you have any queries after the job is completed.
