Masters of the Stage

In this Directors Training Symposium from 1996, Lincoln Center Theater's artistic director Andre Bishop talks about his responsibilities as an artistic director, the qualities he looks for when hiring a director, his belief that many young directors lack knowledge in certain areas, how theatre as a whole can and must develop the next generation of directors, the key difference between commercial productions and the not-for-profit theatre, and why not-for-profit theatres must do more than simply produce shows.
