Christina,
Our State By-laws can be found under the Board of Directors Tab on our Website. Here is a direct link:
https://floridathespians.com/florida-state-thespian-society-inc-2018-by-laws-docx/Your question though is about Late fees, etc. That is more of an operational thing you won't be able to find in our governing policy.
The Florida Thespian State Festival expects over 10000 people at this year's festival. Everyone has to meet those deadlines to make that happen.
In January of 2012, our board of directors under Chapter Director Daron Hawkins saw it fit to establish late fees for materials. If anything was missing the registration was deemed "late" and received a $100 Fee. Each line item that was missing, or piece of registration (invoice, signature page, check, etc) received an addition $75.
This policy has been in place since then and is reviewed each August. All fees for our festival are approved each August.
In Florida, after each board meeting, the District Chairs communicate changes, rules, and fees to their districts. They also are the first point of contact for Troupe Directors. However, you can always send emails to
info@floridathespians.com if you have questions.
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding about our fees in Florida for anyone else who may have questions.

Subject: State Records/By-Laws?
Where can I find regulations covering State Festivals? Things such as fees and fines, procedures for disputes, etc. Are they posted somewhere?
