Stage Directions
October 4 & 5, 2025
Two days of strategy, connection, and skills-building for Hamilton theatre and performance makers.
“How can we all build a stronger, more sustainable Hamilton theatre community together?”
In 2014, attendees at the first Stage Directions Symposium gathered to address this question, and the work resulted in partnerships, projects, programming, and planning decisions that continue to positively impact the city’s art scene.
It’s time to re-open the discussion.
Do you want to play a part in shaping the future of theatre and performance-making in Hamilton? Join us for Stage Directions – The Symposium on Day One (Oct 4) and get involved in this vital conversation. Then come back for Day Two (Oct 5) with two incredible skills-building workshops and end the night with the return of The Monologue Slam!
