EPISODE SUMMARY
What is a dramaturg? A researcher or analyst? A writing coach or sensitivity reader? A historian or speciality expert? In this episode of Theater Begins Here, we are going to demystify the role of a dramaturg. With help from our special guest, Lynde Rosario, we will discuss the different ways dramaturgs are used in theater from workshops to productions, and why they're important to the new play development process.
As always, we will respond to questions from the live audience or those submitted via the Membership Podcast: Theater Begins Here Questions Form.
