This is one crazy thread, I thought it was a joke, well a director never has and never will sit with me in a control room, its unheard of, and why, the show is plotted and rehearsed, you need total concentration on doing your job.The director is in the audience seeing what works and what doesn't, she takes notes and hands them out after the show, if you stuffed up it's your fault and you deal with it and it's not because some idiot ruined your concentration trying to re-direct the show in real time.If a director feels the need to be present they have failed, at some point they have to walk away and opening night is that time.
