The Acting Loft introduces its Teen Directors' Lab!

The Acting Loft is pleased to announce its brand new educational program for teens aged 14 and up: the Teen Directors' Lab. This program aims to give teens the opportunity to direct their peers, explore the process of effectively directing a show from page to stage, and be mentored by the Acting Loft's Artistic Director, Chris Courage, and Director of Education, Kirstin Kennedy.  

This year, the project will focus on David Ives' All in the Timing, a collection of linguistically comedic one-act plays that will challenge teens both in their role as director and actor.  Any interested teen should attend the Teen Directors' Lab Introduction session on Wednesday, November 19^th from 6-8:30 PM, held at the Acting Loft studios located at 516 Pine Street.  This first meeting will include a read-through of the script, a question/answer period, and an overview of the director proposal required for all teens who are interested in directing.

"I think it is important for teens to understand just how much work goes into directing a show," says Chris Courage, the Acting Loft's Artistic Director, "This program is what the Acting Loft all about an educational experience that is working towards a top notch production."

The final performances of All in the Timing will be June 5th & 6^th, with rehearsals beginning the last week of March.  All director proposals will be due NO LATER than Friday, January 30^th.  Please feel free to contact Kirstin Kennedy, Director of Education, at 666-5999 or kirstin@actingloft.org, if you have any questions.
