Synopses & Reviews
When Alberts discovered that one of his directing students had no idea of how best to organize a production, from auditions to rehearsals, David Alberts realized there was a gap in all the literature that has been written on the art and craft of directing. This book fills that gap. It is an intensely practical book, outlining the various roles a director must fill, from negotiator (with producers, play selection committees, the artistic staff, the actors) to guide. He then gives the aspiring, or even experienced, director a superbly detailed guide to organizing and managing rehearsals, whether for plays or musicals. Includes a sample breakdown of scene rehearsals and a production schedule.
