Some of my tried-and-trues ...
Why did you choose to direct this piece?
Why did you cast these actors in these roles?
What about the process struck you as particularly easy (especially if that surprised you)?
What about the process struck you as particularly difficult (again, especially if that surprised you)?
And I love this one, borrowed from a good friend - Hypothetically, if this were not the final performance, but merely a late-in-the-process rehearsal, what notes would you give your actors based on what you saw here today?

Subject: Question Bank for Student Directors
Hello,
We are beginning our Spring One-Act festival in which all the plays are directed by advanced theatre students. I am looking to upgrade the questions I have each director answer for me as part of their assignment.
I have questions around theme, concept statement, Super objectives, motivation, obstacles, etc. etc.
I would like to add more to these with fresh outlooks on what it means to be a director.
Any other ideas or resources that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
