Click on the link to the form you would like to download and follow the prompts to save the file on your computer. Save the file in a place you will remember like your desktop or in a specially created Rising Star Awards folder. The forms are in Microsoft Word format and are protected so that you can type, select numbers or check boxes only in the gray-shaded areas. This form is simple to use and will allow you to type unlimited answers in all of the fields.
A few things you need to know about these forms are:
A) There are minimal logos and graphics in these documents for faster uploading and downloading.
B) This form has minimal page breaks to allow the form to "grow" as you add text. You do not need to add page breaks before sending it back to Paper Mill.
C) Unfortunately, you will not be able to spell check in this “protected” document however, if you type the text in another document and spell check, you can copy the clean text and paste it into the gray-shaded areas of the application.
To use these forms, please follow the directions below:
1) Download the files and save them in a place you will remember easily, like your desktop, or create a “Rising Star Awards” folder to store your files.
2) You should open up the forms in Microsoft Word and immediately save the file as another name by selecting "SAVE AS" from your FILE menu. Please give your application a name that relates to the school you are representing and the type of form. For example, you can title your application: “HSnameRSAapp.doc".
3) Once you’ve created the new file (HSnameRSAapp.doc) you may begin filling out the form by clicking in the first gray-shaded form-field. The form-field will be highlighted and you may begin typing in this field. From there you may [TAB] to the next gray-shaded form-field, and so on.
4) Please follow the directions for each section of the form. Please read the entire form and answer every question. If you do not yet have a final license agreement for your show title, or if your dates are yet to be confirmed, you may enter “TBA” in those fields and email the information to Paper Mill Playhouse as soon as you have an answer. Schools should not delay applying to the program while waiting for these details. Send the application with TBA listed where necessary.
5) Save the report periodically as you work on it in case your computer crashes. Always keep a back-up copy of the completed application on your computer. It is possible that we may request a duplicate copy of your application at some point, so please save a copy!
