In 2010, Scott acted in seven plays. So in 2011, he decided to take a year off and begin try directing.

In March of 2011, Scott began my directing career with Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore.

His next directorial adventure was Martin McDonagh’s A Behanding in Spokane in November of 2011.

At Iowa State University, Scott was the Assistant Director to Professor Karla Kash when the theater department put on a colorful version of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” This was his first taste directing outside of the safety of the classroom.
