Come see some incredible scenes directed by your peers! In the Tyler Hall Lab Theatre, Monday the 8th at 5pm come see the work our students have been doing. In THT 341, Principles of Directing, this class of students have been growing their directing skills and are putting on a performance for everyone to see how much they’ve learned! From casting to the final presentation, these students have learned what it means to be a director, and they’re ready for the public to see! The scenes are from the most amazing plays Fabulation by Lynn Nottage and Dinner with Friends by Donald Marguiles.
