Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA), the most up-to-date way of conversing with dramaturgs, theatre artists and administrators, our colleagues in other art forms, government officials, educators and ethnologists, historians, and many others.
When LMDA was formed over twenty years ago, our mission was to create a national network to affirm the role of dramaturg, to expand the possibilities of the field to other media and institutions and to cultivate, develop and promote the function of dramaturgy and literary management. As an organization comprised of dramaturgs, literary managers and other like-minded artists now numbering almost 700, we remain true to that initial mission. We encourage you to explore this site, read about our work, join our ranks and become a part of some of the most compelling discussions today.
Please stay tuned as we expand our website to include:
- a master calendar of new play activities nationwide: festivals, development, and production oppotunities
- links to member, board, and executive bios
- online review and script exhange
- Early Career Pages
- Links to Regional Activities
- Residency Page
- University Caucus Page
- LMDA Canada Pages
- Project Announcements
We are growing faster than even our website, so stay tuned, sign on up, and we hope to hear from you soon!
