About the Book

How do you choose a musical to direct that suits your amateur theatre group's needs?
How do you run an open and fair audition process and cast a show appropriately?
How do you design a rehearsal schedule to cover a large set of amateur performers?
How do you work with amateur actors to achieve a level of professionalism in performance while maintaining the enjoyment?

Directing Amateur Musical Theatre offers answers to all of these questions and many, many more.

Demystifying the pre-production process and auditions through to rehearsals and opening night, this book offers a roadmap for success for amateur directors everywhere.
Rooted in the wide-ranging experience of a working practitioner who specialises in directing amateur musical theatre across various different formats, it details ways to stage different types of musical numbers, through to blocking and staging a scene, as well as how to approach a text and expanding the acting skills of a mixed-ability cast. Considering the opportunities offered by different musicals, it equips you to direct shows ranging from the golden age through to more contemporary works with imaginative, sensitive and informed direction.
Featuring practical advice and exercises that follow the life-cycle of a production, this book also includes helpful charts, diagrams, templates and tools that break down the fundamental elements of directing a musical in a digestible way that will appeal to first-time, as well as more experienced, directors looking to hone and refine their craft.

This invaluable handbook - the first to be published in the post-Covid landscape - will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in directing amateur musical theatre and would like to bring more to, and gain more from, the experience.
