Caroline Altman
Singer - Creative Artist - Coach
Stage Directing
I love rehearsal. I love working with deeply moving, or warm and comical scripts and scores, and guiding the discovery and play involved in creating an authentic and meaningful production. As a director I try to honor the impulses and choices of the ensemble members while providing strong vision and great attention to detail. It is in this mutual discovery that all the magic happens.
All My Sons
By Arthur Miller
Ross Valley Players, 2013
"Director Caroline Altman and her 10-member cast make the three-act show astoundingly powerful, its messages every bit as potent and relevant in 2013 as when the now-period piece first appeared in 1947."
-Woody Weingarten, Marinscope Newspaper
"Under the steady direction of Caroline Altman, RVP's cast of community actors brings a sense of realism to the drama that bolsters Miller's belief that modern tragic heroes can be found among ordinary folks..." - Charles Brousse, Pacific Sun
"Caroline Altman makes one realize that Miller’s play is a portrait of a society as well as a flawed individual as she explores our ever-changing sense of family, social responsibility and values."
