Steve Scott is arguably Chicago's busiest, award winning theatre director. We aren't sure how he does it all, but students at Act One are fortunate that his devotion to theatre also makes him a dedicated teacher, as well. Since
1987 he has been Associate Producer at the Goodman Theatre, where he
has overseen over 90 productions, recently including "Wit" winning the After Dark Award for
Outstanding Direction. Other recent directing credits include "Mirandolina" at the Noble Fool
Theatre; "Childe
Byron" and "The Eccentricities of a Nightingale" for the Eclipse
Theatre; the world premiere of "The Gambit" at the Theatre Building;
"Fit to be Tied" for Frump Tucker Theatre Company; "Class Enemy" for
Red Hen Productions; "The Time of Your Life" and "Picnic" for Roosevelt
University (where he is a faculty member); "Love! Valour!Compassion!"
and "After Play" for Organic Touchstone; and "Orphans" for CT20
Ensemble (Jeff Citation Nomination). Steve is even an award winning
actor, in the Next Theatre's production of "Are You Now or Have You
Ever Been...?" (Jeff Award for Outstanding Ensemble).
Other Goodman productions: world premiere of Tom Mula's "Jacob Marley's Christmas
Carol"; the 1989 through 1992 productions of "A Christmas Carol";
"A Midsummer Night's Dream," which he co-directed with Michael Maggio.
And with other companies: "Rough for Theatre #1" for Splinter Group's
"Buckets O' Beckett" Festival; "Club Soda" at the National Jewish
Theatre; "Talking AIDS to Death" at Lifeline Theatre; "Die Fledermaus"
for the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists; "A Change in the
Heir" and "Nightingale" (Jeff Citation nomination) for New Tuners
Theatre.
Mr. Scott has served on advisory panels for the
Chicago Office of Fine Arts, the Illinois Arts Council, and the
National Endowment for the Arts, and currently serves as an NEA site
evaluator and a member of the Jeff Committee's Artistic and Technical
Team. He is an artistic associate of the About Face Theatre, a member
of the Eclipse Theatre ensemble, and one of five resident directors for
WBEZ's Stories on Stage. Mr. Scott is also a faculty member at Columbia
