Within the WTF Workshop, the Directing Assistantship is the intermediate-level training program for individuals who have chosen a career in directing. Directing Assistants assist a professional director on one of the Main or Nikos Stage productions and also direct the Non-Equity Company in two projects presented to the Festival and the local communities. The 2009 Directing Assistants were Mike Donahue, Adam Knight, and Kate Pines.
The WTF Non-Equity Company is comprised of young artists drawn primarily from the top graduate acting programs in the country. Non-Equity company members supplement the Equity Company in the Main and Nikos Stage productions and take on principal roles in the Free Theatre and Fellowship productions.
In addition to the acting opportunities the Workshop projects provide, the Directing Assistant projects also offer design opportunities for Festival interns and staff from the scenic, costume, lighting, and sound departments.
