Being a director of a show can be hard work, even more work when it’s a children’s show.
Carter Palmer, a senior music education and vocal performance major, is directing the children’s show “Space Pirates” presented by the LVC music theatre department. This will be Palmer’s first time directing a show.
Palmer is no stranger to theatre, having participated in over 20 productions, including productions done at LVC. So stepping into the role of directing wasn’t a tough decision for Palmer to make.
“I have always loved theatre and have a true passion for education,” Palmer shared.
He explained how directing “Space Pirates” will help him gain new experiences in theatre.
“In my future career I hope educational theatre plays a role within it, being able to direct this show has been a great starting place.”
The show has already begun it’s rehearsals, having two weeks already meeting together. They rehearse once a week for an hour and a half, working on vocals, choreography and scene blocking.
Being a full-time student while being apart of multiple clubs and organizations can be hard to juggle, though. Palmer has quite the busy schedule going on for him.
Palmer explains, “It definitely has been a bit challenging, I am involved in a lot, but I have tried to have designated time everyday to work through my script and block scenes. It has been a lot, but has been an incredibly rewarding process already!”
“Space Pirates” will have only one performance on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 3 p.m. To buy tickets and to find out more information go to lvcmt.booktix.com.
