Director: Janete da Rocha

Janete is excited to be returning as a director for two plays in this year’s 10-Minute Play Festival, after the wonderful experience she had during the 2024 10MPF. While she spent much of the 2000s and early 2010s involved in community theater back in the NY/NJ area, it wasn’t until she moved to Korea that she began directing. She was the stage director for two musicals with Camarata Musicals. Earlier this year, she directed the Seoul Players’ production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame. Now that she has joined Seoul Players as an Artistic Associate, she hopes to continue to bring engaging productions to the stage. (@tool3211)
