The Truth About Supporting Theater Directors No One Admits

Описание: Your kitchen table isn’t messy. It’s gone method.

If you love (or are) a high school theatre director, this video is for you.

In the final weeks before opening night, time bends, exhaustion sets in, and every surface becomes part of the production. After nearly 20 years alongside theatre, I finally had the chance to step back and watch the process from a new perspective—and it reminded me just how much high school theatre directors give to their students and their art.

This episode is a love letter and a practical guide for:
🎭 spouses, partners, friends, and family
🎭 colleagues supporting a director in tech week
🎭 directors who need to feel seen and understood

Inside, we talk about:
• Why tech week feels like controlled chaos
• Simple ways to truly support a director before opening night
• The quiet, unseen work that makes the magic possible
• How theatre shapes confidence, courage, and community

If you’re supporting a director, share this with them.
If you are that director—this is your reminder: you’re doing something that matters.
