As someone who is trying to make his start in the professional world I keep seeing more and more reminders of how small the theatre community really is. With that in mind you have to think if you are putting someones name down on your resume it is often because you want to show you worked with this big named person, and if that person does have a big name chances are someone else seeing your resume might have worked with them before, and if they know each other they will ask each other about the applicant.
So I have to agree with what MatthewShiner that if you had a bad experience working on a show or with a director then that is probably a line you want to leave off your resume. Cause ultimately you are going to have done countless more shows then you can fit on a page, the resume is to highlight your best work that you are most proud of.
