Directing Theater: A Christian Perspective

The author brings a career of academic and professional directing experience to inform readers how to select, prepare, and mount a production for the stage. At the same time, he expresses the disciplines, joys, and rigors of the faith-based walk as a framework for this creative journey. The author’s exploration of the aesthetic requisites for stage directing are combined with a consideration of what it means to be a practicing artist under God’s Creative Mandate. He demonstrates how one’s worldview as a believer in Jesus Christ finds reflection in a world of visual and aural metaphors within a stage production.
