Learn To Be a Director

Have you ever thought about directing – or learning to direct – and you didn’t know where to begin? Or perhaps you’ve had the opportunity to direct and you want to continue, but you’ve not been trained and feel you would like to learn more about the craft?

Columbia Arts Stage Troupe (CAST) is pleased to present a weekend directing workshop on Nov. 14 and 15 at Columbia Center for the Arts. Designed especially for the beginner, this introductory directing workshop will introduce you to the basic tools of directing.

Dr. Gressler has worked professionally in theatre, television and film, and taught theatre for thirty years at Clarke College, University of Oregon, Kellogg Community College and Linfield College, from which he retired in 2000.

Gressler has written, produced and/or directed nearly 200 theatrical productions, published three books and over fifty articles, and has presented papers at regional, national and international conferences.
