About the Workshop:

In this workshop, you will explore how to prepare for your first day in a rehearsal room. You will work with Lucie and other local, young creatives to plan an approach to leading a project as a Director. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with Lucie and to learn more about professional theatre direction.
