My Approach
Every playwright has a different approach to writing. Every dramaturg has a different approach to research. Every playwright and dramaturg deserves a different approach to how they tackle their career. Entering the world of theater is difficult, and getting into the right program at time is daunting. I can meet you at your needs, where you’re at, at the way you want to grow. Each session will be crafted around reviewing your materials, goal and deadline setting, and helping you take your craft to the next level.
