The board of directors will consider a director’s previous production experience, including education, training, directing, assistant directing, performance, and stage management.
Supporting Lady Shakes’ Mission
The company seeks directors who are familiar with and supportive of the organization’s women-driven mission, infrastructure, norms, policies, and resources.
