Our Director Corps:

No matter how good a group of actors may be, they need a Director to unify them in reaching for a specific dramatic goal. The Director is the person responsible for the overall dramatic content of a play. It is the Director who gives the play the 'face' and character that the audience sees.

Our Directors 'appear' before you year after year either on stage or off stage, yet we seldom recognize their previous efforts. Here is a list of this year's directors and their previous credits.
