Your Gift Makes Our Programs Possible

Supporting Directors

With over 108 years of history, The Drama League remains one of the nation’s oldest continuously-operating, not-for-profit arts service organizations. 

We deliver opportunities for creative and career advancement for stage directors and the theatrical community, while connecting audiences to their work. We do this through programming in New York City at our home in Tribeca as well as through local, national and international partnerships. Every gift to The Drama League advances our fellowships, residencies, education and public programs.

 

As a service organization focused on directors, our work is more urgent than ever, and we are very grateful for your support.

Other Ways to Give to Make our Programs Possible

In recognition of the incomparable Irene Gandy’s over fifty-year (and counting!) career in the theater and numerous contributions to the growth of the careers of many notable leaders in the field, The Drama League named The Drama League Stage Directing Assistantship program in her honor.

You can support this initiative with a donation now. For more information about contributing to The Drama League’s Irene Gandy Directing Assistantships program, please visit our online donation portal or contact Executive Director Bevin Ross at bevin@dramaleague.org or 212-244-9494 x 113.
