Assistant directors program
In 2017 La Boite will launch its first Assistant Directors Program. This program provides the opportunity for emerging or mid-career artists to work on a La Boite production. These paid positions aim to enable directors to learn from senior theatre directors about the process of developing shows for large scale companies and specifically for our unique Roundhouse Theatre. During each project, participants will shadow the director in rehearsal, attend weekly production meetings, and observe the bump-in of a show in the theatre through to opening night.
Applications for the 2017 Assistant Directors Program will open in late 2016. Email info@laboite.com.au for more information.
