Date: August 15, 2026
40 Years of LMDA. One Transformative Retreat.

Join us on August 15, 2026 for a one-day free-for-members Digital Symposium where we’ll discuss this year’s theme: Dramaturgy As…

Expect a day of lively conversation about the multi-hyphenate work of being a dramaturg. We will explore dramaturgs as advocates, dramaturgs as educators, dramaturgs as workers, dramaturgs as collaborators, and many more. Martine Kei Green-Rogers, Dean of the Theatre School at DePaul University, will offer a keynote exploring the powerful possibilities within dramaturgy. We invite you all into the conversation around unpacking all that dramaturgy is.
