sexual harassment or hassment of any kind. We acknowledge that thriving arts environments may require risk, courage, vulnerability and investment of our physical, emotional and intellectual selves.

To accomplish AO’s mission, all qualified applicants and employed individuals will:
● Conduct themselves with openness, honesty, and respect toward their fellow community members.

AO prohibits, will not tolerate or permit retaliation against anyone, who in good faith, brings forth a complaint of possible discrimination or misconduct. AO takes seriously any and all complaints with regard to harassment, discrimination and any other
objectionable conduct. We will investigate thoroughly and promptly as appropriate to the nature and particulars of the complaint.
Disclosures
Outdoor Performances
AO exclusively performs outdoors at various locations throughout a theatrical run. As such, there are inherent risks that may not be controlled by AO or its staff. These may include, but are not limited to: unforeseen changes in weather; bites or stings from insects; interactions with wild and domesticated animals; and minor injuries received during performances due to uneven ground or from natural elements such as rocks, trees, water, etc….
Every effort will be made to clearly point out any known problems during onsite rehearsals and on the day of performances. As a result, the performance may be altered, revised, or moved to accommodate. Performances will start, or continue, as scheduled regardless of current or changing mild or moderate weather conditions. In the event of severe weather conditions, a suitable indoor or outdoor covered locale will be used. If none are available, the performance will be canceled and rescheduled, if needed.
