How essential has a social media presence become?

I'd love anyone's opinions on this one. Do you guys think that a social media presence is essential for an actor these days? I understand the benefits but wonder if it's not possible to make a go of it without it. I'm instinctively against the idea of social...

Difficult Directors

I'm currently in a show where the Director is hell bent on getting the lines 100% perfect. No joke. He would stop actors in rehearsal if we add something or jump ahead. He would then tell us to worry about the emotion and connections second. He is crazy about...
