Dramaturgy Participation
The LMDA/KCACTF Student Dramaturgy Award
This Award is designed to recognize contributions by student dramaturgs to the conception, development and production of theater within their colleges and universities, or to educational projects in dramaturgy. This award is the result of a unique collaboration between Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA), the professional association of dramaturgs and literary managers working in North America, and the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF).
Response to the Student Dramaturgs will take place on Friday, February 10th from 9:00am - 12:00pm in Ballroom A of the Shepherd Union. Each entrant will present his or her work and receive verbal feedback from the respondents. This session will be open to the public, and we encourage any and all interested parties to attend.
