    What can a dramaturg do for you and your project? According to LMDA.org (Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of America), here are just a few ideas:

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
    Help develop the mission, help plan the season, help look for scripts

    NEW PLAYS
    Solicit scripts from writers and agents, read and evaluate new scripts, track and file those scripts, write kind letters to writers whose scripts we won’t be producing, negotiate with agents, prepare adaptations and translations, commission new work, organize the in-house play reading program, Organize the new play reading program, support those writers whose vision captures our minds and hearts

    ARTS IN EDUCATION
    Establish relationships with local educators, prepare study guides, develop production web sites, write and edit program materials plan and lead seminars and symposia

    ADVOCACY

    Affirm the function, explore the practice, and promote the profession of dramaturgy and literary management. Nourish the arts wherever we find them: in schools, in communities, and around the world

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura for many years, but our most recent production as director and dramaturg was exceptional. I feel quite blessed that Laura was a part of the production. The subject matter was quite sensitive and autobiographical and the playwright was new. Laura was able to gently guide the playwright to realizing an even stronger vision of the work. Laura’s literary experience and her overall outlook as a human being were such an asset to a production that needed to balance both art and real-world suffering. I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
