The Summer Directors

Welcome to the Directors Project blog for the 2007 Summer Program!

The Drama League Directors Project is dedicated to helping directors in the beginning stages of their professional lives develop their directing skills and build full-time careers in the world of American Theatre. This summer, four young directors are up in Ithaca, New York, at the Hangar Theater. While they are there they will each rotate through directing a new play, a children's play, and a play of their choice at the Wedge theatre space, as well as serving as producer for their colleagues on one of their four rotations. They will work with actors, designers, and playwrights from the Hangar Lab Company, and generally eat, sleep, and breathe directing from now until August 13th. This blog is an opportunity for them to share their adventures during this intensive program. We hope you, and they, enjoy the ride.

This year's summer directors are:

Tamara Fisch
Michael Perlman
Kate Pines
Kerry Whigham
