The Upstart Crow Theatre Company is seeking talented and dedicated directors for our 45th season at Boulder’s Dairy Arts Center.
We are seeking directors who can merge innovative storytelling with a deep respect for classic texts. Directors will have creative freedom to lead all aspects of production, from casting to rehearsal, while honoring the playwright’s original intent. Our productions restore traditionally cut scenes, and when necessary, we create our own translations to ensure fidelity. We are one of the few companies to stage unabridged works, such as George Bernard Shaw’s Man and Superman and an uncut Hamlet. Directors who share our passion for both artistic innovation and textual integrity are invited to bring their vision to our stage.
This is your chance to help shape a season filled with engaging, thought-provoking performances. Join us and be part of an exciting artistic journey!

In our classical theatre productions, we recognize that traditionally characters have been portrayed within a binary gender framework. We are actively challenging this by inviting actors of all gender identities, including gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary individuals, to audition for any role they resonate with. We are also committed to racial and ethnic inclusivity. While some roles may have specific requirements based on the character’s background, we encourage actors of all races and ethnicities to apply. We are dedicated to creating a welcoming and accommodating environment. If you have any specific needs, questions, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your comfort and representation matter to us.
In order to promote a respectful and productive work environment, harassment of any kind is not acceptable at The Upstart Crow (TUC). TUC also prohibits harassment and discrimination based upon an individual’s age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
Harassment occurs when unwelcome verbal or physical conduct, because of its severity and/or persistence, interferes significantly with an individual’s work or safety, or adversely affects performance conditions. Harassment also occurs when a person uses a position of authority to engage in unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
