Our 2027 Artistic Director-elect, Aliana Aspesi, will be helping shape the season and can’t wait to see your ideas.

If you’re interested in directing or have a show idea you’d like us to consider, please fill out the form by October 16th. The form link is in our bio! Even if you aren’t able to submit the form by the deadline, we’d still love to hear your ideas and suggestions for future BBP seasons. Your creativity and input help shape what Black Box Players become, and we’re excited to hear what you have in mind!
