Reading Level: 7
Interest Level: 7-12
The ultimate responsibility for a play falls on the director, who must be a leader and someone who can work cooperatively. Students can read about all the tasks that a director needs to do, and what demands will be placed on a director during the lifetime of the show. There is a sidebar on a person who turned directorial skills into a great career, and a chapter on how directing in theater can translate into many different careers.
