Becoming a Citizen Dramaturg

The Theatre Times: What is a citizen-dramaturg? Could I study it at a university? Is it merely a state of mind? Would I need a certificate to practice? Until I participated in the 2023 Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, a national program bolsters collegiate theater by evaluating student productions, I did not know. In response to my work as dramaturg for my university’s production of Oliver Lansley’s Ernest and the Pale Moon, I was selected for the LMDA/KCACTF Dramaturgy Award, an honor that extended me an invitation to the KCACTF Dramaturgy Fellows Online Intensive, my chance at becoming a citizen-dramaturg.
