A Greeting from LMDA President Vicki Stroich 

It is an honour to accept the role of President of LMDA at this time.  I love my job.  I am proud to share something with the over 600 members of LMDA – we have all decided to embrace a position that witnesses, that searches, that questions and that champions.  We have chosen to be stewards of our theatres, of our culture. 

I refer to stewardship with great purpose, because I believe that dramaturgs indeed are responsible, with our peers, to ensure the future of our theatres and our cultures.  As dramaturgs we are uniquely positioned as observers, as synthesizers and champions of ideas, as idea generators ourselves, as facilitators of discussion and as passionate inquirers to contribute to the future of the art forms we love.  Especially when that future appears to be unclear and unstable.
