I walk the reader through how seeing as a director influenced my creative choices through key aspects of production: script development, design, and building the ensemble. The thesis will conclude with a post-production reflection and summary.ThurmanHarlem RenaissanceDirecting and AdaptingArts and HumanitiesClassicsCreative WritingHistoryRace, Ethnicity and Post-Colonial StudiesTheatre and Performance StudiesthesisN/A
