Website Open Space Arts
OPEN SPACE ARTS fights homophobia through artistic expression.
We are looking for directors who want to be in the room, in process, building something urgent and alive.
FULL DIRECTING ASSIGNMENTS
We have plays on file that we are actively interested in producing and are seeking experienced directors for full productions.
We are especially drawn to directors who:
Lead strong, actor-centered rehearsal rooms
Embrace the constraints — and power — of an intimate storefront
Know how to shape a focused, dynamic 90-minute evening
Are passionate about contemporary LGBTQ+ storytelling
HAVE A PROJECT?
If there’s a play you believe in and think belongs at Open Space Arts, bring it.
We are open to proposals for:
Chicago premieres
American premieres
World premieres
Projects must align with our mission and work in a small-cast, intimate format.
If you’ve been waiting for the right home for a script, this may be it.
ASSISTANT DIRECTORS
We are also seeking Assistant Directors.
These positions are ideal for early-career directors who want hands-on experience inside a working production. Assistant Directors are active participants in the rehearsal process and gain insight into artistic leadership, collaboration, and the logistics of producing in a storefront environment.
Let’s make bold, intimate theater that lands.
