What is Dramaturgy? Some Answers From Our Members:

“I've always thought of a dramaturg as a catalyst, someone who helps make possible the alchemy of theatrical creation. A dramaturg does so many things--help develop new plays, champion new voices, rediscover lost voices, edit, translate, research, advocate--the scope of the profession never ceases to amaze me.”

-- Heather Violanti, Dramaturg/Development Associate at Mint Theate

LMDA Board Meeting V. Hurricane Sandy, NYC

Submitted by csorelle on November 1, 2012 - 7:17pm.

Most of our out-of-town Board members were able to catch flights before New York City felt the full brunt of Hurricane Sandy on Monday, October 29th. The last several, whose air travel fell within the cancelled-flight, airport closings period, are now home or in transit. Meanwhile, several of our Board members and many of our Atlantic coast colleagues are living without power--even as transit returns. Please keep everyone suffering the ravages of this nightmarish storm in your thoughts and watch for opportunities to assist theatres and artists in the recovery process.
