Dramaturgy in the New Play Process

How do dramaturgs function throughout the new play process? From creative inception and drafting to workshops and staged readings to pre-production through closing night and beyond, a dramaturg helps a play achieve a successful first, third or thousandth production. A dramaturg’s work creates cohesion in the story by combining detailed research, relationships and recall. Led by a new play dramaturg/director, learn dramaturgical tools and how a dramaturg’s work informs the world of the play to attain more rounded, in-depth storytelling.
