Nominees-Best Director
26-8-14
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.
We were unable to find photos of all the nominees in this category. If anyone has a headshot of Eric Ng we would love one for the article. Voting closes TOMORROW at midnight. Request your ballot, if you haven't already. Some categories are coming down to less than 5 votes between the front runners. Also, if you are involved in a nominated production and have not received an invite to the Hecklers, please contact us. (There are several productions we haven't been able to get ahold of.)
Mass disclaimer: all the photos in these nominee articles are the property of the artists who created these shows and the photographers who took them. We're writing these articles to help inform the public so they can make their decisions on the Heckler ballot.
You can see all the nominees here. Congrats to all the wonderful artists who were nominated for the Hecklers! We're looking forward to seeing who takes home the honor on September 7th at Grappa's!

Footloose was a very entertaining, fun-filled musical. We enjoyed Conor's staging of the production and his use of levels. This was his first musical as a director, but you couldn't tell...
