You are a writer for a theatrical magazine and your editor asks you to do an article on the history of the director. After you research directors, you meet with your editor again to plot out your article. She reviews your research and asks you to explain how directors have been around since the beginning of theatre and how they have worked to balance both the collaboration of the creative elements and the authority needed to unify all aspects of the show. From what you know, the premise of your editor's request for your article is most likely
A. accurate, because directors work as both figures of authority and collaboration.
B. inaccurate, because directors serve mainly as a force of authority in a production.
C. accurate, because directors can be traced back as far as Greek performances.
D. inaccurate, because directors are a relatively new component to theatre.
