James Dublino (Director)

James is directing for the second time at the Stage Company. This summer he directed Shakespeare's classic, "As You Like It." James has previously shown versatility in directing the tragedy Antigone, the farce Black Comedy, the explosive 27 Wagons Full of Cotton, and the musical romance My Fair Lady . James has a uniquely supportive directoral style that begins with the phrase, "don't be afraid to make mistakes - that is how you learn!" Thus James is able to inspire his actors to be as creative as possible, and give their very best performances.
