Re: Director acting as Stage Manager?
At the Pageant, the director calls the show. This has not been an issue for us. It has simply been SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for 30+ years. Fortunately, our current director knows better than to try to micro-manage the show once it opens and trusts those of us crewing the show to do our jobs.
If your director is like ours, you won't have a problem. If not, you'll have some issues, but probably nothing that will destroy your show.
