LMDA Residency Program

LMDA offers a stipend for a dramaturgical residency within a theater project, program and/or community that seeks an on-site dramaturgical presence but is unable to fund a dramaturg at this time. LMDA member dramaturgs are encouraged to approach theaters and introduce a dramaturgical role and relationship that would become part of an event within the upcoming season. The dramaturg and the theater together would then determine the role and extent of dramaturgical activity for a show, a special project, literary management support, play development workshops, or other carefully defined events. Stipends may be requested in the amounts of $1000, $1500 and $2000, though a lower amount may be awarded.  Two awards will be presented in each round

Grant Application Deadline: December 15th, every year

Grant Mission: To foster partnerships between dramaturgs and theater communities that will grow into strong, well-defined, ongoing dramaturgical relationships and positions within the world of theater at large. 

The 2013 Residency Application is now open.  Please download the application form here.

Questions? All inquiries should be sent via email to Stephen Colella, LMDA VP of Programs.
