PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN
After a much-talked-about premiere last season, The Director's Haven returns with a new lineup of emerging directors! Carol Ann Tan, Zach Weinberg and Alyssa White will headline Haven Theatre's initiative to showcase rising directors as they share their artistic perspective with the Chicago Theatre Community.
Each director will helm a fully produced 30-45 minute play of their choosing that will run back-to-back at each performance. Join us and see what the next generation can do when provided with that all-too-rare commodity: a room to share their vision.
