Production 3: Choosing a Director

Theatre directors don't grow on trees, though we have a reasonable number in our midst. Standards are important, however, and the main committee have ratified the following path for TT directors:
The first rung for an 'ab initio' director is to successfully direct In-House.
Next, successful direction of a Festival entry is a pre-requisite for appointment to a full-length Thespians production.
The Chair of this SC has responsibility in respect of rehearsal patterns and objectives. Adequately reported or observed successful direction in a professional-level theatre elsewhere is an acceptable alternative to our 'first two rungs'. An Assistant Director is to be appointed to all major productions henceforth.
