LMDA offers a stipend for a dramaturgical residency within a theater project, program and/or community that seeks an on-site dramaturgical presence but is unable to fund a dramaturg at this time. LMDA member dramaturgs are encouraged to approach theaters and introduce a dramaturgical role and relationship that would become part of an event within the upcoming season. The dramaturg and the theater together would then determine the role and extent of dramaturgical activity for a show, a special project, literary management support, play development workshops, or other carefully defined events. Stipends may be requested in the amounts of $1000, $1500 and $2000, though a lower amount may be awarded.  Two awards will be presented in each round.  The deadline for applications is December 15th, 2015.

All LMDA members in good standing are invited to click here for full information on the program as well as application forms.  If there are any additional questions, please contact programs@lmda.org.
