Aspiring directors, it’s not too late to be part of a dynamic collaboration at Festival 57. Send your application ASAP before December 15, 2024, for the opportunity to work with a playwright and direct a reading of their new play.
At the Region III conference in January, directing students are eligible to participate in several different projects. Six directors from the region will be selected to direct scripts presented in the 10 Minute Play Festival at the end of the conference.

There are also opportunities to direct a rehearsed reading of a new one-act or a full-length play.
