This will be Palmer\u2019s first time directing a show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019t a tough decision for Palmer to make.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always loved theatre and have a true passion for education,\u201d Palmer shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained how directing \u201cSpace Pirates\u201d will help him gain new experiences in theatre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn my future career I hope educational theatre plays a role within it, being able to direct this show has been a great starting place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show has already begun it\u2019s 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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palmer explains, \u201cIt 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!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpace Pirates\u201d will have only one performance on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 3 p.m. To buy tickets and to find out more information go to <a href=\"http:\/\/lvcmt.booktix.com\">lvcmt.booktix.com<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Karlee Marroncelli \u201827, staff writer&nbsp; Being a director of a show can be hard work, even more work when it\u2019s a children&#8217;s show.&nbsp; Carter Palmer, a senior music education and vocal performance major, is <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/2025\/10\/12\/from-performer-to-director-taking-space-pirates-to-the-stage\/\" title=\"From performer to director: Taking \u201cSpace Pirates\u201d to the stage\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":15061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7,8,1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-15486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-features","8":"category-front-page","9":"category-homepage","10":"category-uncategorized"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15486"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15692,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15486\/revisions\/15692"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.lvc.edu\/lavie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
