The announcement of Kate Hennig as the incoming Associate Artistic Director at the Shaw Festival is an exciting development for the company. In order to give Kate and Tim Carroll a chance to discuss and evolve the Directing program we have decided to suspend the application process for the program for one more year.

The program will remain in existence but it will be reformulated to meet the creative goals of Tim Carroll’s vision for the company. If you have any questions please contact Kate Hennig at khennig@shawfest.com.
