What is Dramaturgy? Some Answers From Our Members:
"Dramaturgy is an instinct, a catch-all phrase and a rallying cry. It's what happens when I think about context, shape, characters, story and performance. How a piece moves, sounds, and feels - what is the experience? This term is only as useful as you are."
-- Laurel Green, Assistant Dramaturg at Alberta Theatre Projects

Mark Costello
Dramaturg/Playwright
PHILADELPHIA, PAAs a dramaturg, I have worked at all levels, from institutional production dramaturg to freelance festival work. I assistant dramaturged the world premiere of Terrence McNally's Golden Age and Michael Hollinger's Ghost-Writer, both in Philadelphia. I am an alumnus of the O'Neill Center's 2010 Critics Institute, where I studied under Julius Novick, Dan Sullivan, Michael Feingold, and others. I am most interested in developmental dramaturgy and working with developing playwrights, though I have a background in more academically-oriented research dramaturgy as well.
