DIRECTORS' OFFICE

The Directors' Office (also called the "DO") is located just inside the reception area on the Admin Level of the Festival Theatre.

The Directors’ Office supports the Artistic and Executive Directors in implementing all of the Festival’s programming and special projects and building a welcoming and supportive creative environment. This includes creative planning, scheduling, casting and contracting for creative teams, actors, musicians and coaches. Initiatives created under Antoni and Anita’s leadership include the Meighen Forum, Laboratory, the Stratford Festival On Film series and the Stratfest@Home streaming service. Our work also supports playwrights through the Foerster Bernstein New Play Development Program, directors through the Langham Directors’ Workshop, and actors through the Birmingham Conservatory

The Directors’ Office team is actively engaged in the Festival’s culture shift to support anti-racism and anti-oppression and ensure a respectful, equitable and inclusive environment in which all artists, staff, and audience members can feel a true sense of belonging in a safe and healthy workplace. We welcome feedback from everyone; please do not hesitate to reach out to any member of the team if there is something you would like to share.
