In Honor of World Theatre Day... 

Great theatre provokes great questions.  It inspires us to feel and explore our world deeply.

On the occasion of World Theatre Day, Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas celebrates the catalytic effect of theatrical storytelling with theatre makers and audiences around the world. 

The quest for a deeper understanding, the encompassing engagement with a story and the vital conversations that are enkindled by a great piece of theatre are at the heart of our work as literary managers and dramaturgs.

We have much to celebrate.  Here’s to the new discoveries made as the curtain rises in theatres everywhere tonight and every night!

LMDA Hot Topics 2013-Call for Submissions 

The University Caucus of Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas will once again sponsor a Hot Topics session at the next annual conference in Vancouver, BC on Thursday, 27 June 2013, from 3 to 5pm. Hot Topics invites all LMDA members (not academics only) to present, in 5 minutes, an idea or project that passionately engages you right now.
 
We’re fierce about the time limit to make room for everyone, so your presentation will require a good deal of careful preparation. You want to introduce the topic so that anyone interested can join you in conversation. It’s not a bad idea to write something in more detail, a page you can hand around, more if you want.
 
We are happy to write to your dean or department chair in support of your application for funds to attend the conference.
 
If you have a topic, and would like to be on the schedule, please get in touch with Geoff Proehl, Bryan Moore, Lee Devin right away. Spots are limited, so please contact us as soon as possible.
