We are thrilled to announce yet another highly successful year of applications for the Neil Munro Intern Directors Project at the Shaw Festival. In June we received an overwhelming response to our call for applications resulting in a total of 81 received from across the country and beyond, including Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New York.

Since 1988, the Directors Project holds a legacy of igniting the careers of directors who have gone on to shape the culture of theatre within this country.  Over fifty-five individuals have participated in the Project, immersing themselves in the unique environment of the Shaw Festival where they hone their craft with the support of the leading minds in theatre from across the country and around the world.

The announcement of the two candidates selected for the 2015 season will be in the Fall.

Be sure to check out the work of this year’s Intern Directors, Rachel Peake and Alistair Newton, at The Shaw this summer. Alistair wrote about his experience working on Cabaret with Peter Hinton on our blog.
