The Year 2003
DIRECTORS' PROJECT 
at The Shaw Festival

DEADLINE: JULY 31, 2002

The Academy of the Shaw Festival and Theatre Ontario are inviting applications for the Year 2003 Directors' Project at the Shaw Festival.  Promising directors who are legally resident in Canada are eligible to apply. Applicants are expected to have had previous professional directing experience and should be both self-motivated and willing to work in an ensemble environment.

Two applicants will be chosen to work with the Shaw Festival during the 2003 season, for a period of between four and six months.  Each successful candidate will have the opportunity to assist the directors of productions at the Shaw Festival, usually two different directors in two of the three Shaw theatre spaces.  Each will also have the opportunity to participate in classes, seminars, special events and workshops under the auspices of The Academy of the Shaw Festival.  Their work will culminate in the Directors' Day 2003, during which each of the selected directors will present a one-act play (chosen from the mandate of the Shaw Festival) to an invited audience of producers and artistic directors.

The Directors' Project is a joint project of The Academy of the Shaw Festival and Theatre Ontario, and is generously sponsored by the Sun Life Financial.  The Shaw Festival is the second largest repertory company in North America, with the mandate to present works by George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries (1856-1950). Productions are presented on three stages in the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

To make application to the Directors' Project, candidates should submit a resumé with a covering letter to:  
Vinetta Strombergs, Professional Theatre Coordinator,
Theatre Ontario,
30 St. Patrick St., 2nd Floor,
Toronto, ON   M5T 3A3.
