Directing & Leadership in Theatre
with Patricia Cerra
How do you bring a story from a script to the stage? Where do you start? How do you make it all happen? This workshop will discuss what it means to be a director, highlighting the role of the director, explaining what the directing process consists of and how directors work with a creative team. Patricia will also discuss the necessary leadership skills needed to create a production.
All DramaFest workshops have limited availability. This workshop is only available in the morning until 10:30am and is not available on April 21st, May 5th, or after May 9th. Availability may also be limited due to bookings by other classes.
