>Hello Deeman,What does a dramaturg do? Well, it denepds on what the director wants, so each show is different. For instance, I wasn't assigned as the official dramaturg for Mrs Warren's Profession, as I was finishing my book in order to ship it off to the press on June 30th. But I ended up having a lot to do with the production anyway, as I loved talking with Timothy and sifting ideas with her in the early stages of rehearsal. She would email or phone and ask questions about what, for example, the word, 'character' means in the play; or about the use of the sun dial things like this.I also did up a gloassary for the actors. With other plays for example, the Macbeth show that has just started in rehearsal I do the whole gamut. I write a lengthy actors' packet; I have talks with the director (the brilliant Joel Sass) on the phone about ideas; I help prepare the text, suggesting cuts or suggesting inconsistencies in the director's suggested adaptation (and we liased a lot with our fabulous voice coach, Lynne Soffer, on this); I attend rehearsals. And for all of the shows, whether I dramaturg them or not, I provide much of the dramaturgy material you read in the program. Laura Hope shares the program writing with me she is the ex-resident dramaturg (who now lives in New Orleans but who came back to work on Pastures of Heaven as its dramaturg. And then, as you know, I also host all of the talk-backs, and I also join in many of the Inside Scoops.So this is what I do as a dramaturg. Thanks for your interest.
