Workshops

Announcing! A Directors' Workshop with a five-class series and a one-scene directing experience! This free program is open to those who want to learn stage directing skills and those who want to improve their stage directing skills; ages 16 through adult; limited to 11 participants.

​

Sessions will include directing expectations for Princess Theatre, including required policies; conducting auditions; discussing set design and use; scene blocking; developing character; working with a production manager; and building a team. Each participant will work with a mentor to direct one of the vignettes for our February production of "Maybe Baby, It's You," a comedy by Charlie Shanian and Shari Simpson.

​

The five classes, each with different material, will be from 6:30 to 8:30 PM on Thursday, Nov 14; Friday, Nov 15; Monday, Nov 18; Tuesday, Nov 19; and Wednesday, Nov 20.

​

Rick James is the workshop coordinator and instructor. Rick has directed for area theatre companies for more than 20 years. Additional mentors will be Candace Andrews, Cody Goeppner, and Kimberly Starr.

​

This commitment includes attending the five classes AND participating in the audition, rehearsal, and production aspects of "Maybe Baby, It’s You." Auditions will be in early December and performances in mid-February. During this timeframe, participants should expect to commit up to three evenings a week to this project.
