Hey y'all.
I'm stage managing (for the first time) a mainstage show at my college. My director felt ill on monday, so we cancelled rehearsal on Tuesday. On Wednesday i found out
a)she wouldn't be there for the rest of the week, (which was good, she really needed rest)
b) the guest director to fill in couldn't be there until Thursday
c) I could either cancel rehearsal AGAIN or run rehearsal myself.

Since i have a pretty good (in my eyes) directing background myself (from high school, but really professional work) I felt OK directing the rehearsal for a night.
But the new director came in, and i had a meeting with him before. He said he would just basically babysit the cast until the real director gets back.
All of a sudden, he starts directing the actors in ways that does NOT maintain the integrity of the show.
I believe it is my job to MAINTAIN that show, but how can i politely and professionally stop him from adding his own artistic views onto the show when I feel they are wrong for the production?

Tools of the Trade / Excel Help?!

Hello all,
i'm making a giant excel file for all my stage managerely needs: ok not all, but a bunch: Rehearsal, Production, and Performance Reports, and Attendence Sheets, and Contact Sheets...etc
For my attendence sheets,
i want the cast list down the first column, (one per row)
and then on the top, 7 columns (1 for each day of the week)
i want to slant this top row. I know how to slant text, but can i slant the CELL itself?
i have a visual example for all who are confused.
Please, if anyone knows this, provide any help on here, and i will love you forever.
