The Neil Munro Intern Directors Project at the Shaw Festival is one of the most prestigious and vigorously sought-after director development and showcase opportunities for emerging directors in Canada. Each year, two intern directors are selected to participate in the program. Successful candidates are promising professionals who have not had an opportunity to work on the scale of production that is characteristic of the Shaw Festival and who are at a point in their careers where an extended residency with a company like The Shaw is of benefit to their professional development.

Now in its 27th year, 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 55 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 application deadline is Friday, June 20.
