SDCF celebrates, develops, and supports professional Stage Directors and Choreographers throughout every phase of their careers. We work to build a collaborative and vibrant theatrical community by creating opportunities for artists of all background to bring their full, authentic selves to their work as creative leaders in the theatre

SDCF is dedicated to providing support, mentorship, and recognition to directors and choreographers through all stages of their career. Our mission is to create a pipeline for all artists that starts with the craft and ends in a legacy. Because the work can often feel isolating, SDCF events and programs are designed to offer access, opportunity, and community.

Since 1965, Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation has been committed to providing financial and educational resources to directors and choreographers. SDCF is also notably the only service foundation in the U.S with the sole purpose of providing such resources to directors and choreographers.
