The Creative Team: Workshop Series

We recognize that the Theatre Arts need to provide more training, access, and experience to traditionally marginalized groups of people. The purpose of this series is to offer educational and practical experiences in the areas of Directing, Stage Management, Set Design to people who have not been historically represented in theatre training.

RLT's goal is to continue to promote stories and productions which capture the global majority (BIPOC) and the LGBTQIA+ communities' voices, celebrations, and experiences. These workshops support our commitment to this goal. Each of the three series (Directing, Stage Management, & Set Design) will consist of five sessions and will be taught by some of the area's most talented theatre professionals.

The aim of these workshops is to provide training to adults (18+) of the global majority (BIPOC) and the LGBTQIA+ communities. While these communities will be the primary focus of recruitment efforts, all people will be invited to participate. Each series is capped at 15 participants.

The directing workshop series will focus on learning the role of the Director in a theatrical production. Participants will learn and build skills in casting, blocking, working with actors, and leading a creative team.

The Stage Management workshop series focuses on how to successfully manage a theatrical production. Participants will learn the process and skills to oversee the smooth execution of a show.

The Lighting Design workshop series explores the art of designing lighting for theatrical productions. Participants will learn how to create a stage environment that enhances the storytelling and supports the director's vision.
