Since last summer, DirectorsLabChicago has been brainstorming, planning, and dreaming about what is to come this year to pair with our 2020 Masterclasses in partnership with Haven Chicago and the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society.

To restructure our committee, build plans for new programming, and to reexamine the why behind the lab, we have decided that we will not be hosting a summer Lab this year.

We understand that this news comes as a disappointment to prospective applicants. Our goal is to take our allotted time spent on our yearly lab to focus on the Masterclasses, initiate (or create) more accessible, short-term programming throughout the year, take stock of our role in the Chicago theatre community today, and to set up our Steering Committee for successful programming in years to come.

Please make sure to sign up for our special e-mail list here (https://www.directorslabchicago.com/events/2020masterclasses) if you are interested in our upcoming Masterclasses in 2020, and our general mailing list here (https://www.directorslabchicago.com/contact-us) to stay tuned about new programming throughout the year.
