Shakespeare Dallas is accepting applications for a new design fellowship program.

The 2023 - 2024 fellowship program is designed to support early to mid-career artists, address an imbalance of representation in professional theater, and increase access to professional experiences for people of color, LGBTQIA+, and woman+ people. Fellows will deepen and develop new skills over their year in residence by participating in projects which will connect them to Shakespeare Dallas and the greater DFW theatre community. Each fellow will assist on four shows from early stages through final production. They’ll contribute to production meetings, planning, rehearsals, and direct collaboration with the lead production staff and the Artistic Director.

The fellowship will run from March 2023 - January 2024. The full description, including details about our hiring process, compensation, and eligibility can be found here. Based on successful performance, fellowship designers will be asked to design a show at the end of the fellowship period or the following season.

To apply, submit a resume, artistic statement, and work sample to jstewart@shakespearedallas.org by January 15, 2023.
