With a faked calm, you make your way to the principal’s office.. again.
“We need to tweak a few words in this script.”
Your audience claims:
“We can’t hear a single thing!”
… even after YOU have taught them ten different methods of projection and spent countless hours adjusting microphones.
You realize that all that support and willingness to help from Tony’s mom was…
Really just a ploy to get him a lead role.
Every year you face those parents who think they can do your job better, try to convince you to choose their favorite (sometimes even inappropriate) musical, even though the ones you’re choosing are allowing the kids to shine and are selling tickets. Your administrators are happy, but your community always wants more, bigger! Without increasing your pay or budget.
How do YOU balance all of this and still walk bravely onto that stage??
Working in theater and education over the last 20 years, experiences like these have helped me learn to work proactively instead of reactively.
I’m embarrassed to say just how many classes and trainings I’ve taken and how many conferences I’ve attended…
…absorbed the trainings-
…read all the books-
…surrounded myself with dynamite professors, teachers, and business leaders as I’ve learned along the way.
After directing over 40 youth musicals and mentoring other directors through at least 20 productions, it’s safe to say I’ve seen just about everything.
For me, having a clear mission and values paired with tools and strategies I can rely on to clearly communicate the vision of my program has made a world of difference.
That’s why every one of our musicals come with bonuses that help you identify those values and tools to help you transform your program through small easy actionable steps you can do right now.
But are You out there doing this all alone?
Every time I lift up another artist,
Empower a new leader,
or help a fellow director rise above adversity…
My life is so much richer and it makes all my experiences totally worth the journey!
But what if…
You could skip ahead some of those challenges, like hopping on the moving sidewalk at the airport?
The “Director’s Dream Trello Board”, I’ve developed with YOU in mind will instantly provide you with an organized place to keep all your directing strategies and program hacks in one place!
With this proven system and me by your side each step of the way you’ll have solutions to your problems before they even arise.
For example:
You entire cast being entirely in love with their roles (even the ensemble!!!)
Enthusiastic support from your community and administrators.
Qualified volunteers to take from you some of those spinning plates!
Send me a message and I’ll help you every step of the way.
If you’ve ever wished you had someone to just bounce ideas and jump over hurdles with you, you don’t have to keep wishing.
If that’s you, let’s jump on a call to chat about how we can turn your program from ordinary to extraordinary.
Just you, me, and a latte.
(The first latte is on me! That’s right, book a free call right now and if you sign up for coaching during our call I’ll instantly text you a $5 Starbucks card!)
