The Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation is accepting applications from emerging directors and choreographers for paid opportunities to observe the work of master directors and choreographers as they create productions for Broadway, Off-Broadway, and at leading regional theaters across the country.

Through the program, SDCF Observers may have access to the entire rehearsal process, from first rehearsal through opening night. Observers also will have the invaluable opportunity to observe first-hand the techniques, disciplines, approaches, and insights of master artists as they create new productions and revive classics. 

Each observer receives a weekly stipend of at least $250 as well as a project travel stipend. In addition, any Observer who is not already a member of SDC will be awarded a one-year SDC Associate Membership.

Anyone with serious interest in pursuing a career in directing and/or choreography may apply to the program. A $25 fee is required from applicants who are affiliated with SDC.
