FROM REHEARSAL…

A busy summer with a student-directed show

interviewed This Side of Heaven’s student director, like everything. You’ve got to be like, “this is how

summer experience and the directing process: realize how actually involved a director should
be.
JB: What is something directors do that most
people don’t realize? What did you discover during JB: What was the most challenging part of this
this process? production, or directing in general?

CC: I feel like, and I guess this probably depends CC: Well, a. first ever time directing. That was
on what kind of director a person is, ...I’m an all- challenging. For me, it was the blocking. It’s hard

having them have that relationship and
connection form– because sometimes that
doesn’t happen, and it’s a little bit of a push
and a shove. 
JB: Why did you choose this show?
CC: I chose it because, you know, it’s a one
act, but also because it, for me, is a profound
story. There’s just something really neat
about, like, when you put two people in a
room together, every week, for several weeks,
and they’ve both gone through a similar- but
different- experience, and they’re both moody
17 year olds. You know, even though they’re
seventeen, adults can relate to them, and
really anyone can relate to a story like that.
