I get the opportunity to work with and direct some extremely talented stage actors for magazines and theater marketing. It's less often that I direct the directors, who because of their trade, are even closer to my heart. Great directors clearly communicate their vision to an audience through the performances of their actors, and do it in such a way that the performance may grow and change over time. No two performances are the same. It's the opposite of anything one can do digitally.
One such director is
Anna Shapiro, the Tony winning collaborator of Tracy Letts and director of
Steppenwolf's August Osage County. She's back at the
Steppenwolf collaborating with Letts, directing Chekov's
Three Sisters. I shot her for Modern Luxury's CS magazine at Steppenwolf.
