1TC aims to provide support and opportunities for first-time directors and production team members in Durham by providing funding, advice and training.
Our main goal to help new directors put on their first show in Durham, yet the company also works with first time production teams to expand DST’s pool of talent. All of our shows are pitched to us by our directors and we pride ourselves on our inclusivity and receptiveness to new and exciting ideas.
