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.
