Background: There are many directors in the Antelope Valley and most of us work pretty constantly. We are able to work with our actors to help them grow as actors. How do we learn and grow in our craft? We can learn and grow in our craft by sharing with others who are engaged in the same process and discussing common problems/solutions with those who have faced similar challenges.
Mission: The Director’s Forum is a safe place where we as directors can come together and express what we hoped to accomplish with a show and how close we came to achieving that hope. Then get supportive input from other directors in how to get closer in the future.
We will also be able to come together and workshop with professional, working Directors, Designers, Technical Directors, and Stage Managers on how to grow and improve as directors.
Structure: Meetings once per quarter. View each other’s shows prior to opening and give input to director on what we see. Show Post Mortems at Quarterly meetings. Annual dues: $60
Requirements for Membership:Directed minimum of 5 plays professionally, in community theatre, college, head a local high school theatre program, be in a directing program, or by assent of majority of Members, join the VAPA Network Directors Guild
