Fellowships
Building the Next Generation of Theatre Professionals
La Jolla Playhouse offers two fellowship positions; a Directing Fellow and a Stage Management Fellow. La Jolla Playhouse is committed to growing the next generation of theatre-makers in line with our mission and values.
These two-year fellowships include full salary and benefits, and offer recipients the opportunity to gain both artistic and administrative experience, including substantial interaction with all departments, guest artists and community members. Each fellowship is designed to be customizable to the recipient’s needs and passions, culminating in a slot directing or stage managing a show in the Playhouse’s subscription season.
The fellows will play an active role in the Playhouse’s day-to-day activities, participating in such new play development programs as Page to Stage and the DNA New Work Series; the immersive and site-responsive Without Walls (WOW) program; the Performance Outreach Program (POP) Tour; and Learning & Engagement activities.
