Director’s Toolbox

I’m consolidating them here in this simple Director’s toolbox. Please note, most of these tools are specific to directing Playing With Plays scripts.

2nd: Casting help – How many lines per character, per script? This really helps when knowing what actors to double up or which roles to split between actors. You can find character line quantities here.

3rd: Setting up a weekly afterschool or homeschool program or a 1-week summer camp. These are the basics to run your own successful program or even your own business!

If you know of something that should be added to this drama toolbox, please don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know! As well, if you ever have any questions, I’m here to help!
