Directing Class
Saturdays 2:00-4:00 p.m. Beginning September 15th
Learn the basics of directing. How to break down a scene, casting, and coaching actors. Since this class will heavily focus on book work, research, and how to work in rehearsal, it is a perfect opportunity for actors to learn how directors work, and how to better give directors what they need.
