Nominees- Best Director
17-8-15
A director leads the show; is the master of the ship. A great director is more than that. A great director is a visionary and a teacher. A great director helps lead the the creative team and the acting team into making a unique piece of art, all while having fun on the way. All of the directors nominated are great and more than deserving of recognition for their work this past year. It's up to you to decide who is the best of the best, this past season.
