‘Fun Home’ director Sam Gold on working with ‘No Net’
Sam Gold was still in college when he did something most people only dream about: He made his Broadway acting debut. But he quickly realized he was probably on the wrong side of the stage.
“I was an actor for a minute,” says Gold, a Brooklyn resident, who is currently juggling two shows. “I was a bad actor because I was always a director. I was always thinking like a director.”
Gold’s instincts back then — as many producers and actors will say — were typically smart. He’s become one of the most in-demand directors in town, earning his first Tony Award nomination at 37 for helming the poignant musical “Fun Home.”
