LMAO! too funny In the real world, the director leaves after the opening night reception (usually very drunk) and they go off to work on their next project. In high school, they have the power to be wherever they want. Usually the school requires the students be supervised by faculty/staff...

I agree. I found the best place to learn is the community theaters. You can build a lot of contacts that way and get outside gigs eventually. And don't be afraid to ask questions. Its better to have stuff done right than to have someone pretend to know what they're doing and let someone get...
