  • Sample classes: Beginning and Advanced Directing; Musical Theatre Directing Workshop; Voice and Diction; Movement for the Stage; Intermediate Acting; Playwriting; Script Analysis/Dramaturgy; Lighting; Theatre Management; Educational Theatre.
  • Opportunities at ACU: Submitting proposals to direct faculty-designated and Studio Premiere shows, dramaturgy, stage management and portfolio presentations.
