School director- Mr. Flinn is AWESOME! I absolutly adore him. He's an amazing director whom, sadly, I've only gotten to work with once (I was Mrs. Van Dann's understudy in Diary of Anne Frank) while my younger brother has gotten to work with him twice (once for Lost in Yonkers and also for Anne Frank [--; He wasn't even in High School and he got a bigger part than me...]).
Community Theatre Directors I've Worked With- Scott, worked with him for Wait Until Dark (I was Gloria in my first main role ^_^). XD He still calls me Giggles because I couldn't stop laughing at Our Mr. Rout.
Harry- Oh god...I LOVED Harry. He was possibly the BEST director in the tri-county area. He did (for shows I was in or involved in) Little Mary Sunshine, Once Upon a Matress, Clue: The Musical (in which he also starred as Mrs. White), A Christmas Story, and The Crucible (for which he won a TAYNAS for his directing and set design ^__^) crying I miss him.

I always seem to get amazing directors, for some reason. I can't remember ever getting a director that I disliked.

Our directer is amazing. Mrs. Porray isn't afraid to get up there and be insane, even with her 60-something body. Its really funny when a group of us were doing the finale for Scrooge last week and Mrs. Porray andI were sharing music and we just got so lost and started making up our own words using the same tune. We were laughing so hard and all the little urchin kids were like " eek ". Yeah that was amusing.
Two years ago during Beauty and the Beast, she got up on stage and was telling Le Fou how she wanted him to be and she fell off the stage, got back up and was like "Just like that... Without falling."
I dunno. You just kind of have to be there

Last year our school worked with 5 diferent dirrectors.
- An college student who graduated from our school four years back. She wrote a play, cast it with our students, and directed. I teched for said play. I liked her plenty as a person, and she seemed to be a good director too.
- Two professional directors that came to direct two student-writen plays. Both AMAZING directors. One was really nice and encouraging. One was scary and had really high expectations for his actors. I ushered these shows, and helped out a little just because, and once he knew you, I thought he was cool.
- Our theatre student-teacher. I later declared this man the most awesome person ever. He co-directed the play we did, Noises Off. It was named "the best play our school has done in the past 30 years". Not only was he an amazing person, he'd get up onstage and work hands-on with the actors.
- The head of our theatre department. He's a wonderful, nice, lovely man. But he worries too much sometimes, and I think it gets in the way of his directing abilities. Last year I acted in Our Town, which he directed. I didn't feel liked he asked anyone in the cast to reach their full potential. Though his musicals turn out well. This is the director I'll be working with for the next two years in high school... xp
Anyway, that was a lot.

My old school director, Judge, was amazing. He could make almost anybody a great actor. But my current directors are stupid favoratist who don't know crap about directing or acting.

Our tech director called a couple of guy in my tech class "thugs" today. It made me laugh... "Landon and the two thugs".... He also made a sexist comment when were were strike the set... all the girls refused to help after that and were like "Um... so you think you could use some GIRLS?" But of course, my tech director does chair races with us. WatchHe beat our stage managers time by 1 second too... he is the chair racing champion XD Other than that, our normal director is pretty cool too, though she's scary when she gets frusterated.

I now have an opinion of my college director.
He's a jerkface. A scatterbrained jerkface.
He like never left the 70's. And our shows for sure reflect that. Threepenny Opera looked like the entire cast had been dropping acid in a whorehouse for a week and a half, A Winter's Tale actually looked pretty cool. There was checkerboard everywhere.
But during the Secret Garden, I wanted to kill that man. There were no walls. There were panels of walls made out of insulation foam that the actors stood behind. Symbolic? Maybe. A pain in the a**? Holy hell you have no idea.
He just doesn't know how to plan things well so that it's practical for the actors AND the tech crew. He's just thinking how cool it's going to look and not that it's going to cause everyone else a panic attack.

eh, I've had a few good and bad. Two of them in my grade school and high school years were more interested in the whole promotional thing, they didn't really care if the play looked good or not. (They'd say it was great, but often times it was really mediocre stare ).
Another two were much better and really knew what they were doing. For my freshman year I was lucky enough to have worked with the former director of the high school before she resigned. And the director of a recent play that i did was really great too. Both were really cool and fun to collaborate with, on and off stage. mrgreen
