Welcome to the Region VIII Student Directing Programs. In the spirit of encouraging the next generation of stage directors, we have expanded the opportunities for those interested in pursuing directing at festival. For the SDC Student Directing Fellowship, we are looking for experienced directors who will bring a scene from their home institution for presentation at festival. New this year, we are offering observerships for student directors who are interested in learning about the new play development process. Finally, we will be presenting a range of workshops with directing professionals to expand directorial education.
Please take a look around our website, and the national website to see which program may be a good fit for you. If you have any questions after you have read the materials, please direct them to Leslie Ferreira at ferreilw@lacitycollege.edu.

Student Directing Observership of New Plays (*New!*)
KCACTF, the Region VIII Student Directing program, and NPP are pleased to sponsor an opportunity for student directors (graduate or undergraduate) to observe professional NPP directors during the new play development process. Although this opportunity is offered as a silent observership, mentoring and assisting opportunities between NPP and student directors may arise at the discretion of the NPP director, depending upon availability of the participants involved. Selected directors will be invited to observe the process of directing a reading of a new play from the start of the process (prior to festival) through the completion of the staged reading at festival.
