Van Oort’s artistic process in directing Lauren Gunderson’s Silent Sky in a studio production of the play at Minnesota State University, Mankato, in the fall of 2020. The thesis chronicles the director’s artistic process from preproduction through performance in five chapters: a preproduction analysis, an historical and critical analysis, a production journal, a post-production analysis and a process development analysis. Appendices, works cited and works consulted are included.
