Directing Projects

WHAT IS A DIRECTING PROJECT?

Directing Projects are the culminating activity for Theatre 4 students. Students design, stage, and present a short play of their choosing during their assigned class period. Student performers attend no more than 20 rehearsals, including one mandatory technical rehearsal and one mandatory dress rehearsal within 2 weeks prior to the performance date. Students will be excused from up to 1.5 blocks of class on the day of the performance in order to prepare, present, and regroup. A wide variety of plays will be presented, each promising to provide a unique opportunity for student actors and directors alike. The Directing Projects are an advanced classroom assignment and some deal with mature subject matter such as body image, violence and prop weapons, sexual activity, substance abuse, race, and religion. Copies of the play will be available in the Thespian Advocacy Group course on Canvas. If you don’t have access to that course, please email Ms Lynn (LynnN@nths.net) and she will add you. The Directing Projects have at least 50 roles to be cast during this process. It is possible for students who participate in this production to also be in the Freshman-Sophomore Play.
