SDC Student Directing Presentations & Competition
The future of American theatre rests in the hands of the next generation of directors. Working with actors, breaking down a script, and creating stage pictures while bringing a play to life are only a few of the challenges. As directors develop their aesthetic, they need to be exposed to a variety of styles and opinions on what makes great theatre. It is for these reasons that KCACTF, in partnership with the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society, sponsors the SDC Student Directing Initiative. The directors will present scenes, observe critical responses by professionals in the field, and participate in workshops Wednesday - Saturday.
Regional finalists will present scenes and interview with a panel of professional directors. One student director will be selected to represent Region VIII at the KCACTF National Festival in April.
