- Be present at rehearsals to guide the actors as they develop the actions of the play.
On-Site Supervision
The Artistic Director, Mark Henderson, shall supervise the Director, who shall attend rehearsals for an hour every third day. The rehearsal hall is in the same building as the office, so there will be plenty of opportunity for pre or post-rehearsal meetings.
