SDCF is open Monday through Friday from 10am-6pm ET.

Mission

SDCF celebrates, develops, and supports professional stage directors and choreographers throughout every phase of their careers. We work to build a theatrical community that reflects the cultural, racial, and gender diversity of our nation by creating opportunities for artists of all backgrounds to bring their full, authentic selves to their work as creative leaders in the theatre.

Give $60 for 60 years

This year, SDCF Foundation celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 60 years of empowering directors and choreographers whose artistry sustains our stages and shapes our culture.

We invite you to honor this legacy with a special anniversary gift: $60 for 60 Years – or just $5 a month. Whatever amount is meaningful to you, your generosity will directly fuel the creative voices that bring stories to life and inspire audiences everywhere.
