We hope you will join us in supporting stage directors! The Drama League’s Ghost Light Campaign funds the programs of support we offer, including Fellowships, Residencies, and new stipends to help stage directors working temporarily in video formats. Additionally, 25% of all donations will go directly to The Directors Emergency Relief Fund, a new initiative that will provide rapid emergency grants to stage directors suffering financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Gratitude Awards will be a one-time-only digital fundraiser that shares the gift of gratitude within the theater community, to which the theater community will share with NYC, and NYC will extend to all. This digital event will celebrate and be inclusive of participation from all workers in the theater community, while funding the many opportunities stage directors will need so they can lead shows back onto stages and audiences back into seats.
