AWD Book Club

Hosted virtually every other month by AWD South, the books selected for Book Club help members hone their craft as directors. Guest authors attend for a Q&A as their availability permits.

We are excited to have Ally Members join us for Book Club! Typically, we announce the next book about two months ahead, to give everyone time to absorb it. Information on how to RSVP for the discussion will go out closer to the event.

In 2022, AWD members read and discussed the following books. All authors were in attendance:

  • DIRECTORS TELL THE STORY by AWD Honorary Members and Directors Bethany Rooney and Mary Lou Belli
  • DIRECTING ACTORS– 25th Anniversary Edition by Acting Coach Judith Weston
