for directors

Directors - please feel free to download these questions, answer them and email the answers back to me (along with a high-quality photo of yourself). Extra credit if you can get a few members of your cast to do the same with our handy-dandy actor questionnaire. Bonus points and eternal gratitude if you can submit a video of your cast singing or performing a scene. (Video is the #1 way to jump to the head of the queue and get posted right away!)

Here's how it works:

- I'll edit your responses and post them to The Stage Door
- I'll write a short preview for the print edition
- I get two helpings of original content. You guys get two helpings of publicity, plus dead tree space.
- Everybody wins!
