This experience has taught her that there are many ways to run rehearsals and about finding your own style to direct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By Charlotte Duffield, \u201824 staff writer The director of a student play that is coming soon to LVC shares the work behind the role.
