[quote=Anonymous]I think it might be helpful to recast this as though it were sports to help OP get some perspective

[quote]Is it too much to communicate with the [b]coach[/b] at my child’s school about my child’s 504? DC has not [b]played soccer before[/b] but [b]tried out for the team[/b], so the teacher is probably unaware of the 504 and I feel like she should take into account that she will have been anxious during the [b]tryouts[/b] which the [b]coach[/b] should take into account when [b]forming the team[/b].

Unlike sports, most high schools in MCPS do no cut theater. So your child will get some sort of role, but it won't be a lead and that won't be because of their disability. It's because theater is a huge commitment, and the director, and student directors, don't know whether your child is committed, whether they can memorize, whether they can get in sync for the choreo. It would be borderline irresponsible to give a sizeable role to a total newcomer unless that person brought a long record of outside-of-school acting bona fides that suggest the ability to get off book and work with the rest of the cast.
