Director Jillian Keiley is originally from Newfoundland, currently
she is the Artistic Director at The National Arts Centre in
Ottawa.
We met at The Stratford Festival where Jillian directed Wendy
Kesselman's adaptation of "The Diary of Anne Frank."
We talk about how tough it is to direct a powerful script, that has
touched so many people’s lives.
We also discuss how Jillian approached the playwright with her own
alterations to the script.
In the past few years Jillian has auditioned over 800 actors, so
she shares her audition process…and a few awkward audition moments.
