Apply for Lady Shakes Theatre Company Productions Program

• A women-driven company which aims to engage, empower, and celebrate our diverse community by reimagining classical theatrical works beyond the restriction of gender or cultural boundaries.

Selection Criteria

• Production Choice and Artistic Vision – Lady Shakes is looking for works of Shakespeare featuring all-women casting. Traditional or alternative interpretations with regard to setting, time period, costuming and theme will all be considered. Creativity and inventiveness are encouraged and will be balanced with the resources available to us in the form of volunteers, venue and money.
• Theatrical Experience – The board of directors must take into consideration a potential director’s previous production experience, such as education or training, directing, assistant directing, performance, and stage managing.
• Supporting Lady Shakes’ Mission –  Each community theatre has its own unique culture and place in the community. The Company is seeking directors who are familiar with and supportive of the organization’s women-driven mission, infrastructure, norms, policies, and resources.
• Directing Style – A director’s capacity to work with and empower people, engage them with original ideas, and be a strong yet compassionate leader greatly impacts the success of a production and the experience of the volunteers.
