Hubbard Hall Center for the Arts and Education is proud to announce a transformative new partnership with The Drama League, one of the nation’s leading organizations supporting directors and theater-makers. Through this collaboration, The Drama League will radically expand its director-centered new work residencies at Hubbard Hall, bringing national artists into our community while deepening opportunities for creation and innovation.
As part of this initiative:
The Beatrice Terry Residency will now receive extended resources, time, and personnel at Hubbard Hall’s state-of-the-art facilities in Cambridge, NY.
Hubbard Hall will become home to two brand-new Drama League residencies:
(Re)Envision Residency, supporting directors reimagining works from the public domain or antiquity.
(Re)Engage Residency, inviting the nearly 500 alumni of The Directors Project to return to The Drama League and develop a new project with their collaborators.
This unprecedented expansion will provide directors with the space, support, and community they need to shape the future of American theater—all while connecting Hubbard Hall audiences with some of the most exciting new voices working today.

About The Drama League
The Drama League is America’s only full-time, year-round career development home for directors — the artists who stand at the center of performance collaborations in theater, film, television, VR, and dozens of related creative industries. Directors are architects of storytelling, fulfilling two essential human needs — to understand our world more deeply, and imagine new possibilities. Through their work, directors enable us to explore the potential in human relationships, shared experiences, and collective understanding. Despite the critical role directors play in our society’s well-being, their work is often invisible to audiences; their profession is deeply under-supported and misunderstood, even inside the field. To address this, The Drama League Directors Project offers a broad portfolio of acclaimed opportunities for directors at all stages of their careers, in order to accelerate their development and support the most impactful creative work possible.
