While we have all had better ideas at times, only the Director should be giving anyone notes. Biggertrigger has the right response. But, I would probably have responded a bit more like Topper. After all, we all want to direct, don't we?

GAWD!
I wonder if it could be the same bloke we have here?
I know he belongs to a few Groups, but didn't realise this actualy commutes to other states.
(Me thinks it could'nt be the same wally - ours is over 60)
He sounds like the same bloke - thick as brick & just as dense!
Not a lot you can do as an indervidual, beyond white ant him, in the hope the powers that be get off thier colective bronzes & pull the pin on him, he might eventualy take the hint & evaporate.
On your own you would have only two chances - 'none & Buckleys'.
What ever you do, do it quietly & softly with a lump of 4X2. Ensure you have a steal plate in your daks at all times. as protection from you wearing the boot up the "Rsend'.
Just remember theatre is that sparse & big here? - When you flush the dunny there, you will empty a bath in another State!

Wow, this fellow must get around. I think I have acted with this exact personality here in Ohio. I deal with him much differently now than in the past. Being a person of conciderable heft and girth I have a little extra weight to throw around. Back before I found the wonderful land of sobriety I had conversations with this actor which resulted in us going nose to nose and warnings of consequences if he didn't keep his notes to himself.

These things always have a way of working themselves out. This actor moved on to "bigger and better theatre" and left us poor talentless schmucks behind. We wish him well and to paraphrase Fiddler, "May God bless him and keep him.......Far away from us."

Been there on that one.

It's funny how you see a lot less red once you get the brain chemicals in line!

The real concern here, for both the other actors and the theatre company in general is that a show director allows an actor to do the job that he is contracted for. If I were that director, I would be more outraged then the actors. If I were the Board of that theatre compnay , i would put an end to this behavior immediately. This person is not only overstepping his authority but is usurping the position of the plays director. The director or the theatre Board should put a stop to this at once and if this man did not conform, then he would be replaced. It does not matter how talented he is. Community theatre works best when it is a team effort. The director is the captain and the actors are his crew. This should be treated as A MUTINY and the egotistical one should be made to walk the plank.

If I had any idea what you said, I'm sure I'd agree with you.
