OPERA AMERICA DIRECTOR-DESIGNER SHOWCASE FINALIST
More info at: www.4s3a.com
The showcase, made possible through support from the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund, was established to bring promising talent to the attention of the field and connect these directors and designers with those who are in a position to advance their careers.
Forty applicant teams of directors and designers each created a production concept for an American opera. Four production designs were selected by panelists. The finalist teams will each be given $2,000 to be used toward further research and the production of more comprehensive renderings and models. They will attend the Opera Conference 2015 in Washington, D.C, where they will present their proposals. Over the next two years, each team will also have their designs featured in a six-month exhibition at the National Opera Center in New York.

It presents free Shakespeare to prisons, homeless shelters, centers for the elderly, and other community venues throughout the five boroughs. In addition to a three-week tour to eighteen venues, each Mobile Unit production then “sits down” at The Public Theater downtown, providing New York audiences with low cost tickets to world-class Shakespeare..
