Directing Fellowship
In partnership with Playwrights Horizons Theater School, The Clubbed Thumb Directing Fellowship is a five-month new play directing intensive, under the mentorship of alumni artists Anne Kauffman and Ken Rus Schmoll.
Fellows develop new 30 to 40 minute plays by commissioned Clubbed Thumb playwrights over the course of a semester with Playwrights Horizons Theater School student and alumni performers, in barebones, classroom settings. Then, they build on this work with workshop productions of the same plays with professional actors, presented for industry audiences at Winterworks, running January 22 – 26, 2020 at Playwrights Downtown.

DIRECTOR
Since May 2014, Rule of 7×7 and The Tank have produced 196 world premiere short plays, with a plethora of sold-out evenings and free beer. It’s the show critics have called “brilliant,” “joyous,” “an electrifying comedic experience” and “a deal that can’t be beat.” This November, seven of the most (explosively) hilarious and (oddly) poignant pieces are back.
