More than one directing thesis project may be scheduled during the same evening. If this occurs, directors are expected to work collaboratively together as they plan and develop technical specifications which will work for each production. Each directing project will be presented two times for a public audience, free of charge. The Department has the authority to schedule the presentation dates and times to best fit time and space considerations. As stated above, all senior thesis directing projects are to be presented in a minimalistic manner.
All purchases are to be approved by the faculty advisor prior to the purchase time.
After obtaining permission from the project advisor and faculty members in the design and technical production areas, directors may pull essential scenic, costume, and properties from department storage. Student directors are responsible for coordinating and planning all aspects of the project, including the acquisition of necessary actors, staff, designers, technical personnel, and publicists. The Theatre Arts Department does not guarantee access to workstudy or practicum students, or to departmental staff in the shop areas. The remaining faculty members will provide the student director with written comments and reactions for their consideration.
