One of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and one of the most rewarding, too. I’m about to leave the drama teacher position (in June of this year), and when it goes well, it’s intense creative fun, like surfing a turbulent wave, or something equally natural, chaotic, and violent.
When it doesn’t go well, it’s as effective and frustrating as trying to herd 40 cats somewhere they don’t want to go.
That said, if you get a chance to, GO FOR IT! but plan lots and lots ahead, get as much help as you can for as many parts of it, and know you are going to make sacrifices – of your vision, of your time, energy, and motivation.
Break a leg.
