Dramaturgy for production is a different animal than general script consulting. This is hands on, practical work focused on getting a script ready to live and breathe in the rehearsal room.

My role is to help the playwright refine the story, sharpen the dramatic action, and prepare the script so directors and actors, have everything they need to build a strong and successful production.

This work is not “theoretical.”

It is grounded in what actually happens on stage in front of a live audience.

I work privately and closely with the playwright or writing team to identify what is working, what is unclear, and what needs to be strengthened or trimmed before you step into rehearsals.

We look at creating compelling action and events in every scene, a clear dramatic arc for your play, and logic and congruency in the world you have imagined.

The goal is a script that flows, escalates scene by scene, and supports the director and the actors. Production dramaturgy dives into the small but important details that can make or break a rehearsal process.

The final result of this dramaturgy process is a script that is not only polished on the page but fully prepared to succeed on stage. You walk into production with a blueprint that supports your team, and allows everyone to do their best work.

This is focused, professional development for a script that is about to come to life.
