Dina Vovsi is a New York-based director, multidisciplinary theatermaker, and educator. She is a 2025-2026 Resident Artist at the cell for The Tusk Hunters with playwright Dan Caffrey and puppet artist Betsy Rosen, which received a 2026 NYSCA Support for Artists Grant. She is a co-facilitator of the 2024-2026 New Georges Jam.
With Dan Caffrey and performer and canoeist Jens Rasmussen, Dina co-created and directed River Watchers, a site-specific, journey-based play on a 14-seat Langley canoe in Newtown Creek, which was called “a stirring new immersive theatrical experience” and “a one-of-a-kind night of theater that embraces the size of our city’s history and humanity’s place in it.” Produced in association with The Motor Company and the North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, River Watchers was awarded grants from the Brooklyn Arts Council and the Puffin Foundation.
Dina has directed and developed new work with WP Theater, The Civilians, New Georges, Working Theater, Cape Cod Theatre Project, The Orchard Project, New Dramatists, The Bushwick Starr, and more. She is a New Georges Affiliated Artist and an alum of the The Drama League Directors’ Project, WP Directors’ Lab, the Roundabout Directors Group, the Mercury Store, the Robert Moss Directing Fellowship at Playwrights Horizons, The Civilians’ R&D Group, the Lincoln Center Directors’ Lab, and the SDC Foundation Observership. With collaborator Dan Caffrey, she is a two-time finalist for The Civilians’ Next Forever Commission with Princeton University’s High Meadows Environmental Institute and Lewis Center for the Arts.
As an associate/assistant director, Dina has worked on Broadway, off-Broadway, and regionally with Roundabout, Playwrights Horizons, Spoleto Festival USA, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, and more. A frequent guest director at universities, Dina also teaches directing at Playwrights Horizons Theater School at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and acting at Brooklyn College's MFA Acting Graduate Program.
