This monthly gathering invites directors and other theatre makers to come together, share experiences, and seek advice in a supportive community. There is often an isolating nature to directing, and this new space aims to foster connection and collaboration. **The Board of Directors** is an opportunity to set aside time each month to be alongside members of the Directing community all over the world.
