Course Description

In the collaborative world of theatre, the director is at the helm. We, as stage managers, support the director’s creative process from rehearsals through opening night. What happens when the director leaves and turns the maintenance of the production to the stage manager? This course will help give you the tools to meet that challenge. Beginning with rehearsals, how do we best observe directors so that we can understand and preserve their vision? In preparation for working with the cast, we will discuss varying acting methods.

How do we prepare our script to direct replacements, incorporating script analysis and acting beats? We will also review the basics of directing and identify the most influential directors now, and in recent history.
