Sloan Elle Garner Stuart is a production dramaturg with experience in devising, musical theatre, and adaptation. Her practice relies on offering tangible and relational experiences to casts, crews, and audiences to deepen relationships to texts and narratives. She is the Southeast Regional Vice President of Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas and an alumnae of Alpha Psi Omega.
Previously, she has worked as Program Coordinator of the Theatre and Dance Departments at Eastern University, Dramaturg in Residence at Evergreen Theatre Collective, and Theatre Instructor at Grenada High School.
With the moniker “Southern Directurg,” Sloan is passionate about uplifting communities in the rural Southeastern U.S. and Southern Appalachia through education, community resources, empathy, and art.

Sloan’s research specialty is in Southeastern identity, and her projected dissertation will be using archival work to string together the first ever narrative of Atlanta theatre history in the New South, 1866-1953. She frequently presents at the annual conferences for the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, American Society for Theatre Research, Mid-America Theatre Conference, and Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas.
