DRAMATURGY
And as you walk yr road, as you live yr life, RELISH THE ROAD. And relish the fact that the road of yr life will probably be a windy road.
Michael J. Bobbitt (Playwright - Mirandy and Brother Wind)
“Dalyla, your dramaturgy packet is EVERYTHING!”
Celise Kalke (Dramaturg & Managing Director - Synchronicity Theatre)
“I love your narrative voice throughout… The way you are narrating is as dramaturgically useful as the materials you are presenting while remaining dramaturgically “voiced”
Quinn Hernandez (Playwright - Spicy White)
“The ease with which you met my concerns and fears and the warmness with which you responded made this deeply personal play so much easier to tackle.”
