“As a director, Norm strikes the perfect balance in every possible way. He trusts his actors to create their characters, but provides guidance to make their performances the best they can be. He has a thorough knowledge of all aspects of theater production, but still listens to the suggestions of those working with him. Most importantly, he creates a professional environment, but still leaves room for the cast and crew to have fun together, and joins in the fun himself!”
