ATTN: COMMUNITY THEATRE DIRECTORS
(North, NW, and West Chicago Suburbs and Northeast Indiana):

Promote your theatrical work to potential employers and auditioners. Contact me to add your listing. The cost is only $10 per director and includes LIMITLESS updates for as long as the Green Room Online Directors section exists.

AUDIENCE: Prospective employers (theaters, schools, etc.), auditioners, and newcomers to the town wishing to make an informed decision about what/whom to audition for.
CONTENT: Some ideas to include are: your headshot or photo, theatre resume, photos of your productions (as actor or director), video clips, short bio, your philosophies on theatre, favorite shows, audition advice, etc.

A "FEW" SUGGESTED TOPICS:

• How do you conduct auditions/callbacks? Do you provide sides/scenes prior so auditioners can prepare? Do you give direction to the auditioners?
• What is the one thing you wish auditioners WOULD and would NOT do during an audition.
• How do you handle "rejection" yourself and what advice would you give others (auditioners, prospective directors, etc.)?
• During callbacks, how do you decide who to pair up in scenes?
• What advice would you give auditioners who feel the need to analyze or second guess the order or pairings in a callback?
• When directing, do you have a vision of the characterizations, blocking, etc., or do you let the actors take the lead and then shape them?
• Tell me about your favorite show(s) to DIRECT, and why.
• Tell me about your favorite show(s) to PERFORM, and why.
• Any other words of wisdom you think auditioners or prospective employers might want to know?
