DETAILS:​

The next step of RPL's New Theatre Festival is a 12-week Directing Class, where students will direct the original plays, musicals, and scenes written in the Summer Playwriting class to be produced in RPL's Theatre Festival in November - featuring new works written and directed by kids!


This Directing class is open to new students; participation in the Summer Playwriting Program is not a prerequisite.


In this 12-week Directing Program, students will learn the fundamentals of directing for theatre AND be supervised in every stage of directing a play, musical, or scene for the RPL Theatre Festival, which this year will consist of filmed live performances that are streamed via video.


Students will learn a new directing concept each week, and will be guided through the directing process including:


 
  • Components of directoral concept
  • Timeline and planning
  • Auditions and casting
  • Blocking and staging
  • Running rehearsals
  • Special considerations for social distancing/remote rehearsals
  • Coaching actors
  • Simple set design
  • Lighting design
  • Filming live performances for RPL's Virtual Theatre Festival


All classes are recorded, so no worries if you miss any classes.

For Directors who are not able to attend the Wednesday time regularly, an alternative time will be determined based on schedules that will allow students to have check-ins with Marney.



In addition to the weekly class, Directors will also need to create their own rehearsal schedule prior to auditions. Rehearsals can take place virtually, on site at RPL, or at another location. Note that any rehearsal not taking place at RPL will need to have a parent supervisor arranged by the Director's family.


TUITION:
$249 for 12-week class, plus a supervised comprehensive directing experience, culminating in a filmed and edited production with simple set, lights, and sound.
