Established in 2013 by the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music, the Harold Prince/Kurt Weill Directing Fellowship offers an opportunity for emerging and mid-career directors who are members or associate members of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society to assist a master director on a stage work of Kurt Weill or Marc Blitzstein. Through these Fellowships, directors will gain first-hand experience with the processes and specific approaches of master artists and thereby expand their own artistry, enrich leadership and collaboration skills, and further their knowledge of directing opera and/or musical theater. In addition, the Fellow will acquire greater understanding of and comfort level with Kurt Weill’s and Marc Blitzstein’s theatrical catalogue and an ability to draw on this in future work.

Prospective directors and organizations interested in hosting a Prince/Weill Directing Fellow are encouraged to contact:
