Short-Fuse Call for Mentors: GirlImproved, Austin

Hi there,

I’m writing on behalf of @GirlImproved, an @ImprovEdShakespeare project. We teach adolescent girls the skills needed to craft radical and original stories, creating opportunities for fair and positive representation of
girls in the entertainment industry. Our motto: Write. Produce. Direct. Improve.

As emerging directors/producers, the girls can still use a lot of advice and help before their plays go up. We’re seeking talented creative technicians based in Austin (Directors, Set Designers, Light/Sound Designers, Costume Designers) who are willing to volunteer a couple of hours of mentoring. We’re wondering if you might be interested?

What we're asking:
- 1 hour to read the script and compose pertinent questions for the director;
- 3 hours to meet with the director and advise on things to consider when directing the play;
- 3 hours to visit during the production process and send the director down her path to success.

We hope this will become an on-going, year-round process and are seeking mentors to contact throughout the year. However, our initial production is underway and we are seeking mentors for immediate help. Our current schedule is:

May: Auditions
June: Rehearsals
July: Performances

You can get to know more about us on our website and social media outlets:

If you're interested, please let us know. We apologize for the last-minute haste, but if you’re available now, please contact us promptly. Time is of the essence for this current production! Also, please let us know if you would like to be removed from our queries. We understand that you’re very busy and appreciate the consideration.

Thanks so much,

Andee Kinzy, Director
