The Beginning

5/20/11
Well, it's my first post!

To start the blog, I suppose I should summarize the reason behind its creation.  For my summer internship (required by the Theatre major at Monmouth College) I am creating a blog to record the events of my position as Director for the Marengo Park District's Summer with the Arts (or SWTA) program.  This year, as the 20th anniversary production, I have chosen to direct Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Jr.

I have received the script and am going through it now.  MTI creates a remarkable directing guide that basically hands the show to me, which for someone who is working for the first time with so many people, is a great advantage to have.  So far, I have a vocal director, 2 choreographers, a costumer, and lots of help in the publicity department.  I think that this will be an amazing experience!!
