Sometimes when I'm directing, the stage manager will have a good idea and that's okay with me.
I would hope that the staffs at juvenile detention centers and reform schools are carefully chosen so that there is a community of support and hope.
I think I'm a little more daunted by when the machinery of the play is really huge.
I began stealing a lot of ideas from other directors I had worked with.
What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.
I think there is a complicated side effect to overcoming evil in that we are forever changed by it. I think after we ingest some of the cruelty of the world, it takes years off of our lives, but it also gives us wisdom and a little grace, hopefully a sense of compassion.
