Hi Victoria,
Here's the wording of a consent form/liability waiver that I have used in the past - it could perhaps be adapted to suit your situation?
Regards,
Beth

Subject: Consent Form?
I'm trying to find a consent form for our partnership with a professional theatre. The form would be something along the lines of parents giving permission for their child to be working alongside the professionals at the theatre. Has anyone ever dealt with a form like that? Can you share it?
Thank-you!
