Flying Solo

TheatreFace: We've had an explosion of student-driven workshops over the past year at Purdue. It has been truly amazing to see so many young theatre artists exploring their craft, trying out new things, and generally being excited about our art, and I'm proud to say we've been fairly successful at making room for these projects that are not part of our main production season. However, as one might imagine, these workshops create inevitable tensions; the greatest of these center around supervision, safety and security in workshop spaces. Consequently, I've spent a lot of time thinking about students "flying solo."
