Abstract
Producing Play from Page to Stage describes my experience producing and directing Samuel Beckett's Play. Chapter One, "Conception," includes my process of preproduction work, arranging rehearsal times and establishing goals. Chapter Two, "The Creative Process," includes all components of the creative process—rehearsal progress, working with a vocal coach, understanding and working with the light, and the incorporation of music. Chapter Three, "Challenges and Obstacles," speaks specifically of the difficulties with the technical elements and the many diverse roles as producer. Chapter Four, "Performances," includes excerpts from my journal for each performance and Chapter Five, "Reflections," includes my actors' reflections of the rehearsal process and my reflections of the entire process. I have ended with an Appendices that better illustrates the responsibilities of the producer. Included are letters of correspondence to several agencies and excerpts from my journal speaking of the frustrations of tech week.
