Joe Montgomery has directed over 8 musical comedies. His credits include The Wiz,
Grease!, The Fantasticks, The Music Man, Bye-Bye Birdie,
and Babes In Toyland. Well-grounded in musical performance and theatre, this
performance genre is one of Joe's favorites. He utilizes all of his talents directing
Musical Comedy. At times he serves as stage director, musical conductor, choral conductor,
etc., etc. However, the hands-on approach in all areas seems to suit him. His comic
style includes perfect timing, a creative sense of humor and the ability to include
suggestions of singers/actors into his direction. He truly enjoys the collaborative
effort with other members of the production staff, musicians, actors, singers and dancers.
Joe Montgomery has a Masters Degree in Music and has much performance experience in
many Musical Comedies himself. He is a member of Actor's Equity Association (Equity) and the
American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA).
