Workshops And Events

A Service of The Drama League Directors Project
The 2024 Drama League Workshop "Directing For the Camera," led by Jude Weng (Only Murders in the Building, Frasier, Ghosts, Quantum Leap).

OVERVIEW

Each year, The Drama League offers a rotating season of workshops, social events, and career development opportunities for directors. Like dancers returning to the barre for a lifetime of learning and community, directors are continually expanding and growing. Led by acclaimed experts in the field, our Workshops are designed with minimal time commitments, to offer high impact for busy working professionals. Our Events offer a lively community and networking, as well as enjoyable experience OUTSIDE of the rehearsal room. If you’d like to receive e-mail announcements about Workshops and Events, please email artistic@dramaleague.org.
