Class Overview
This is a rigorous, semester-long course for students who wish to learn more about directing and the technical aspects of theatre production. No previous acting or directing experience is required, but students must be willing to take risks and criticism as part of the creative process. A significant amount of reading and written work will be required. Students who have successfully completed English 2 may receive English 3 or 4 credit for this course. Note: This course is offered on a rotating basis every other year with Acting. Students are required to attend a variety of off-site productions and field-based learning experiences; given the ever-evolving pandemic conditions, this may change. As has been the case throughout the pandemic, we will be monitoring the available guidance from the school district, the VT Agency of Education, and the CDC. We will make adjustments to off-site and field-based learning experience protocols as necessary. Safety is our top priority for our students and our wider community.
