Promoting a community theatre show on social media is no longer optional. For most audiences, Instagram, Facebook, and email are now the primary ways they discover live events. The challenge is not just posting—it’s posting with intention, consistency, and clarity, while still honoring the artistic spirit of theatre.

One of the most important—and most delicate—skills a director can develop is the ability to give effective acting notes. Great direction is not about controlling performances or imposing ideas. It is about guiding actors toward clarity, truth, and consistency while protecting their confidence and creative instincts.

In theatre, the audience begins interpreting a character long before the first line is spoken. A single movement, a shift in posture, or the way an actor occupies space can immediately communicate confidence, fear, authority, or vulnerability. This is why body language in acting is one of the most essential tools an actor can develop. Movement is not an addition to storytelling—it is storytelling.
