Have you gone to see a play and been impressed with the historical accuracy of the costumes, stage, language, or other creative elements? Dramaturgs collaborate with directors, designers, and actors to contextualize plays, musicals, operas, and other performances. Join us as we delve into the world of dramaturgy with local experts. They’ll share insights into their craft, discussing the intricate research and creative processes that contribute to theatrical productions, how theaters plan their seasons, criticism, and scholarship. Panelists include: Paul Adolphsen, Literary manager at Seattle Rep; Erin Bednarz, freelance dramaturg, actor, and sound designer; Sara Freeman, dramaturgy professor at University Puget Sound; Gavin Reub, artistic director and dramaturg for The Seagull Project. Moderated by: Sara Keats, freelance dramaturg
