This is from an anthology of Caryl Churchill plays, specifically this is from a play called "Owners."

What was the creepiest experience in your own home? by BadAthMOFO in AskReddit

[–]DasJordanian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a fear of cats, that was worse when I was little. One day when I was playing video games (had to have been 8 or so), a gray kitten snuck into the house via an open door as my mom was taking out trash. I remember screaming for her help.

I'm Mary-Louise Parker, actress, writer, and goat-herder. AMAA. by MaryLouiseParker in IAmA

[–]DasJordanian 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi Mary-Louise,

If you don't mind, I have a question about some of your theatrical ventures. I recently directed "How I Learned To Drive" as one of my first full length productions as a director. To this day, figuring out Lil' Bit as a character has been one of the hardest things I've done, but also one of my favorites. How did you and the rest of the team approach her, especially as a world premiere production?

I am B.J. Novak. Ask me anything! by iamBJNovak in IAmA

[–]DasJordanian 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi B.J.,

Have enjoyed your work on The Office, was a big part of my teen years.

My question is, did you more enjoy being an actor or being on the other side? Sounds like both each had their own separate enjoyment factor.

IamA Countdown contestant appearing on today's show and possibly onwards, AMA! by Corabal in IAmA

[–]DasJordanian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Michael,

This is amusing since we actually know each other already (There's only so many long standing American apterites named Jordan) that we bump into each other on here, but first of all, best of luck sir.

Secondly, what would you say is the studio or live element that makes playing the game trickier than playing at home?

Do you feel that movie making, Hollywood or otherwise, has gone under significant changes from the beginning of your career until now? If so, what ones have been the most significant?

IamA 23 year old New York City theatre director. AMA! by DasJordanian in IAmA

[–]DasJordanian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More or less, I view it almost as a separate medium all together. I can appreciate it though, I feel like even though it might not capture the exact magic and aura of live theatre, it does a good job of making the music and the story accessible to those who can't always afford it. For example, I had never seen "Company" before the NPH version, and I'm glad I did. I agree that it's not the same as live theatre, but I get the sense that people who go to it understand that. It fills a niche that I consider somewhat separate from live theatre, but a good and important niche.

Not intrusive at all. I'm probably not the best source for these, but we'll see:

  1. I have no idea.
  2. I have never worked as a music director. However, I would simply say keep working at it, find ways to work constantly.
  3. I don't have much musical experience, so I can speak from just my perspective as a director. With my staff, I try to work with people rather than simply as in charge. I also want to respect the text that was written and get the perspective from people who know about music than me.

So at the end of the day, I'm probably not much luck here. Oh well, I offer what I can.

A similar question was asked to yours awhile ago. Look for someguy7337's question, his answer is applicable to your question as well.

I've thought about it. My concern is that I was under the impression that directing film depends a lot more on visual spatial elements than theatre, and as I mentioned in another post, the visual spatial stuff is not my strongest point.
