One of our jobs, as directors, is to understand and solve those problems. In this workshop, we will explore, in-depth, both the fundamentals of play directing (dramaturgy, expressing your ideas to theatre managers, production designers, and actors, casting, organizing, and executing rehearsals), some of theatre history’s most problematic plays, and the infinite possibilities of the solutions. For students ages 16+; $75 per student. “*College Audition Prep*” with Dayshawnda Ash (Saturday afternoons 11/28 – 1/9 from 12pm – 2pm) (NO meeting 12/26) ($200) In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to master all of the intricate parts of preparing and executing your best college musical audition, whether it be in-person, virtual, or pre-recorded! Learn what to choose, how to prepare, and build your audition book. This workshop will include an accompanist recording of your song and a new headshot with our WRP production photographer. For students ages 15-18; cost $200 per student. *If you have any questions, please direct them to August Scarpelli at august@thewrp.org <august@thewrp.org>* -- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
