DESCRIPTION

The Yale Dramatic Association is looking to hire a Director for our 2026 Fall Mainstage Musical. The Director will work closely with a team of professional and student designers and a team of student technical leads to foster a supportive learning environment. The show will run for four performances from November 12-14, 2026 in the University Theater which is a 640-seat venue on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. While we have already selected a show (which we cannot reveal publicly due to rights restrictions), directors will be involved in the processes of designer hiring and casting.

The salary for the Director is $6,000. Auditions and rehearsals will take place beginning the week of August 30th. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until Saturday, March 21st. Those interested in applying should submit a current directing resume as well as a 1 page cover letter containing a bit of information about yourself/your background, why you’re interested in working with students, and any other information you’d like to include.

The Yale University Dramatic Association (the Dramat) is an undergraduate organization at Yale College that operates as a student-run, non-profit production company. The organization produces six shows each academic year and is maintained by its Executive Board, made up of eleven students who collectively serve as the Dramat’s artistic and managing directors.
