The Graduate Program

Directing

The Directing Program provides an ongoing forum for faculty and peer response to production and studio work as well as a focus on directorial tools such as action and storytelling, analysis and conceptualization, organization and preparation, and working with collaborators. In addition to directing one project each semester they are enrolled, students are exposed to an array of experiences that can help them to cultivate the sensibilities, strategies and creative responsiveness necessary for a sustained professional life as a theater practitioner.
