Abstract

A passionate storyteller and artist, earning her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Honors Liberal Arts and Theatre-Performance, explores her personal potential as the play Director of Little Women, a stage play adaptation based on the 1868 novel by Louisa May Alcott, adapted from the 1912 play by Marian de Forest and Jessie Bonstelle written by Josephine Partridge. Throughout the course of four months, Partridge adapted the script and works as Director and Marketing Director for this production with SPU Theatre Company club. She uses this experience to deepen her understanding and practice of intentionality with artistic vision and virtuous leadership. She combines informed subjective analysis and objective research to explain the structure and purpose behind a theatrical production. Her designs and presentations of environment and storytelling as Director are provided, showcasing how her intentions came to life. She reflects on the process, honestly dissecting the ups and downs that occur when making theatre as students at the university level. In the end, Partridge centers her efforts on the overall purpose for theatre in uniting humanity and the importance of strong leadership in all settings.
