Look at "Leaving Iowa." I did it 3 years ago at De Smet and I think it will work great for you. Flexible cast, can be done on a proscenium stage or in the round.

I have had a truck on and off during my 40 year career. It is surely more helpful to have one...but talk with the maintenance department at your school and see what they have available. Since selling my truck, I have made use of trucks and vans owned by the school (district). Kurt Knoedelseder Theatre ...

Yes! Do it. The guys love Monty Python. This show brought me my highest number of guys at auditions. Three years later, I'm still benefiting from the number of guys that were drawn to this show. Tech and costumes are challenging but not a deal breaker. Kurt Knoedelseder Theatre Director/Theatre ...

Been there...done that as both a theatre director and administrator. Meet with your admin ASAP (pre-meeting) and lay out for them exactly what you just posted for us. Bring with you your extensive handbook and explain the audition process to them. Many administrators understand sports not theatre. ...

As a former administrator charged with teacher evaluations, here is my suggestion. Look at the evaluation policy for your district.

I may have a unique view of this situation. I have been both a theatre director and an athletic director. If the basketball coach's son started and scored 20 plus points a game and made the all-conference and all-state teams at the end of the season…no one would complain. They would be thrilled he went ...
