Each were given a scene and strategy which they then workshopped in Weston Auditorium. Directing the Play is an introduction to the professional stage director. Students will study the work of great directors. They will stage short productions for the class. Students will learn to analyze and develop their scene work. Students will attend performances of productions on and off campus and actively analyze them in class. ![Image_009-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-3057-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_009-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-3057-PM.jpg?width=751&height=512&name=Image_009-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-3057-PM.jpg) ![Image_011-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0842-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_011-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0842-PM.jpg?width=1519&height=987&name=Image_011-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0842-PM.jpg) ![Image_020-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-1513-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_020-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-1513-PM.jpg?width=968&height=1364&name=Image_020-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-1513-PM.jpg) ![Image_019-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0842-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_019-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0842-PM.jpg?width=1352&height=962&name=Image_019-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0842-PM.jpg) ![Image_014-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-1131-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_014-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-1131-PM.jpg?width=1492&height=1004&name=Image_014-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-1131-PM.jpg) ![Image_022-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0849-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_022-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0849-PM.jpg?width=1476&height=883&name=Image_022-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0849-PM.jpg) ![Image_003-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0301-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_003-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0301-PM.jpg?width=1502&height=991&name=Image_003-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0301-PM.jpg) ![Image_005-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0542-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_005-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0542-PM.jpg?width=899&height=1329&name=Image_005-Oct-30-2023-06-56-10-0542-PM.jpg) [![Learn About Our Communications Media Department](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/376696/ba4bb603-8f2b-4ca7-b47a-0e4683d94f58.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/376696/ba4bb603-8f2b-4ca7-b47a-0e4683d94f58) Topics: [Programs and Majors](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/programs-and-majors), [Communications/Media](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/communications-media), [Theater Program](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/theater-program) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
