An Actor’s Director

When I direct, I view the production from the audience’s perspective, but I always want the actors’ input, so I can get them to deliver an emotionally invested performance.

Thanking my cast and crew after directing my first musical, Monty Python’s Spamalot, at the Farmington Players (2017).

 

Singchronicity, the first play I ever wrote and directed, had 10 characters in a 10 minute play. I’ve learned a lot since then (2014).
