Directors Lab West is produced by the Directors Lab West Steering Committee, in association with the Pasadena Playhouse and with generous support from the Stage Directors & Choreographers Society.

Directors Lab West fosters an intensive laboratory environment where a community of directors and choreographers inspire each other to dream and create the future of the American Theatre. The Lab, which was spun off of Lincoln Center Theater's Directors Lab in 2000, brings together theatre directors and choreographers to participate in a week long series of workshops, panels, roundtables, and symposia with some of the nation's leading theatre artists. In the last 16 years, more than 100 acclaimed artists have given their time to the Lab including Jason Alexander, Luis Alfaro, Paris Barclay, Anne Cattaneo, Kay Cole, Gordon Davidson, Sheldon Epps, George Furth, Moises Kaufman, Ming Cho Lee, Marc Masterson, Dakin Matthews, Randy Newman, Jack O'Brien, Vincent Paterson, Carey Perloff, Stephen Wadsworth and Alan Mandell.
