What
I really want to do is direct. The
old joke.
I
didn't know I wanted to direct until
just before I started doing it.
Now, after writing, it's my
favorite function in the arts.
At age 19, I directed my first
adult community musical. At
age 23, I directed my first "stars"
(Van Johnson and Bobby Van) in a
semi-Equity production.
I
enjoy working with actors since I
used to be one. I like forming the
concept for the show and watching
others help bring it to life.
And I love to watch audiences
enjoy the results of the massive
collaboration.
Yes,
directing is incredibly rewarding.
And
at the end of each performance, I
don't have to remove makeup from my
face.

Good
