Compare directors and critics!?

Question

Could anyone give me some of the simularities and differences between critics and directors in the theater?

Answer 1

they both pick shows apart to find what needs improvement, but directors pick them apart and then fix the parts needing improvement.

Answer 2

Well, directors are the people who are in charge of the play; they DIRECT the actors, hence the title. Critics are the people who (hopefully) go to see the show, and then CRITIQUE (hence the title), writing something called a REVIEW, which explains, essentially, what they thought about the plays, the actors, the direction, the costumes, the lighting, etc.
