Mentor For A Day

The Mentor-for-a-Day program matches early career dramaturgs with professionals for a one-time chat of about an hour.  The "chat" could be by email, phone, or in person -- whatever works best.  Although there is no guarantee, sometimes these conversations continue past the one-time chat and flower into more enduring mentorships. 

Our definition of mentor is expansive: Are you a recent grad willing to mentor current students?  A current grad student willing to talk to people looking for grad schools? Freelancers, what should we know about your city? Are you having success applying dramaturgical skills in an arena other than theater?  This is a great opportunity not only to talk about how you got your gig at a regional theater or university or wherever your cool job is, but also to get a sense of the amazing up-and-comers' thoughts and training.  

If you are interested in being a mentor or mentee, please send your bio to Julie Felise Dubiner. Mentees, please also include some information about what you are looking for in a mentor - i.e. "I want to talk to someone who lives in LA/Chicago/NY.", "I want to talk to someone who works in commercial theater,"  “I want to live in France." – the more specific you can be the better we can match you up with someone useful to you.

This program is limited to to LMDA members.
