Theatre is an ensemble activity much like a team sport.  Imagine trying to play a baseball game without a catcher for the pitcher to throw to.  The game can't be played.  So, if you want to be part of a winning ensemble team you must be present, prepared, and punctual for rehearsals and performances.
