Student Directed Series - Applications Now Open for the 2023-2024 Season

Department graphic.

The Student Directed Series in the UB Department of Theatre and Dance is where emerging practitioners can challenge themselves artistically while collaborating with peers.  Successful applicants receive a venue for the work, basic tech support, and modest financial assistance to mount a production. 

We invite production proposals from student directors and leading artists who work in theatre, dance, and across the disciplines.  Proposals are submitted in the form of an online application.

When completing your application, keep the following parameters in mind:

  • priority will be given to proposals with run times that can feasibly be performed without an intermission; programs of short works also encouraged
  • short tech/dress week; 4 nights max
  • basic light and sound set-up provided at the Katharine Cornell Theatre

To propose a production, complete the online application form at this link.

Special thanks to Derrian Brown and Eve Brunswick, student members of the UBTHD season selection committee, for their work on updating the submission process. 

You may direct any questions to Associate Chair/Producing Director Lynne Koscielniak at lk2@buffalo.edu.
