This is the place where I interview really cool working dramaturgs from all different areas of theatre, type up the conversations, and post them here so you can read them too!
I have a voice recorder, and everything.
On the 'prospectives' list:
- University theater (he's American) teacher, author, Shakespeare expert - Dramaturg for a major Shakespearean festival every summer for the past (some impressive number) years
- Lecturer, playwright, devising dramaturg - also producing a successful touring children's theatre company! (Plus, she's got that dry British humor at its best!)
- Lecturer, author, translator... this guy is SMART. Plus, he understands better than anyone else I've met here not only what a dramaturg does, but the range of approaches available for dramaturgy!
- plus various other recommendations... amazing people I've talked to, terrific dramaturgs others have worked with and suggested I contact... I love talking to awesome people, particularly awesome theatre people! IT'S GONNA BE GREAT!

Completed my first interview with the delightful Rachel Barnett - working on transcribing the recording to get it posted here! Should have additional interviews scheduled and posted soon!
