If you are a director who wishes to participate, send us your resume and cover letter for consideration.
The 2022/23 Advance Theatre Festival will take place in February of 2023, dates TBA.
This is a curated process. Priority will be given to inclusivity; all cultural backgrounds, orientations, identities, abilities, and ages.
