The Drama League Fellowships are career-transforming opportunities for stage directors focusing on creative development, skill building, and network expansion
The Irene Gandy Directing Assistantships create intergenerational learning between directors working on major productions in large theaters across the United States.
The Drama League International Exchanges bring together directors from around the world for training, research, collaboration, production opportunity, and cultural understanding.
The Drama League builds community for directors around the world. They offer professional development workshops, and publish free industry e-communications, including “Directors In Action,” “Reading Roundup,” and “The Call Sheet.”
The Drama League Awards, the oldest theatrical honors in North America, recognize excellence in production, acting, directing, musical theater, and philanthropy.
The Drama League is America’s only full-time, year-round career development home for directors — the artists who stand at the center of performance collaborations in theater, film, television, VR, and dozens of related creative industries. Directors are architects of storytelling, fulfilling two essential human needs — to understand our world more deeply, and imagine new possibilities. Through their work, directors enable us to explore the potential in human relationships, shared experiences, and collective understanding. Despite the critical role directors play in our society’s well-being, their work is often invisible to audiences; their profession is deeply under-supported and misunderstood, even inside the field. To address this, The Drama League Directors Project offers a broad portfolio of acclaimed opportunities for directors at all stages of their careers, in order to accelerate their development and support the most impactful creative work possible.
