The Bake Off

conceived by Cristina Alicea

Dates TBD
This will be a digital event. More information coming soon. 
Take one play, break it in three parts, add three directors and three casts, and--voilà!—you've got the 9th annual directing "bake off," an engaging exploration of the “ingredients" different directors use to create the same play. More information about the chosen play will be available Spring 2020.

"The directors and actors have to fend for themselves in recreating, say, a train and a plane crash. Even a door. In other words, expect almost no tech from the VSC’s tripartite staging, but a ton of creativity. And therein lies even more fun, as much for the directors and actors as for the audience." - Seven Days
"It might be a conceit that entertains audiences with structural sleight-of-hand more than it illuminates them, but the production — and especially the question-and-answer session with the triumvirate of directors following the presentation — does offer a few insights into the mind of a director." - Burlington Free Press
 “'The Bake Off' divides a popular play into three parts, each presented by a different director and cast. This year, the play was Christopher Durang’s wacky comedy, “Beyond Therapy,” and the cast changes Tuesday were made mid-scene — seamlessly and hilariously."
