Directors For Hamilton-Gibson productions 35th Season In 2025
Hamilton-Gibson Productions is thrilled to announce its 35th Season, offering a rich array of shows, community engagement and educational programs. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Thomas Putnam, the Main Stage line-up has been planned featuring seven productions, plus additional regular seasonal offerings, special events, long-running activities for all ages and theater arts camps for kids. The 2025 season’s theme is igniting HG’s 35 birthday candles and holding them high to light the way into the future.
In more recent years HG has expanded its line-up of Main Stage directors to include more community members who have gained experience at HG and other places, and who are able to take the helm. For 2025 seven different directors will take the lead on various projects. Putnam shares, “Those who are interested in directing may submit one or more titles they’d like to direct as part of our process for building a season. The titles that are submitted are not always chosen for the season, but there’s a certain strength and health if it works out for a director to direct a play about which they are passionate.”
