LMDA Conference 2025
Digital Conference: February 1-2, 2025 | Applications closed.
In-Person Conference: June 26-28, 2025 | Applications due by: January 31, 2025
For 2025, the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas will convene around the theme of Dramaturgy and Creative Infrastructure. We are once again hosting two conferences, one digital and one in person. Our digital conference in February will explore the same theme in an online setting. Then, in June, in honor of our fortieth anniversary, we are hosting our first bi-national conference at the border of Mexico and the United States. Both the digital and in-person gatherings promise to be enlightening, entertaining, and engaging!
To demystify the Digital Conference and its Call for Proposals, you'll find answers from our Digital Conference Coordinator, Margo Ascher.
Margo Ascher is a freelance dramaturg and critic. She studies Bread and Puppet and other radical theatres, Brecht and the Brechtians, and poor theatre. MFA University of Iowa, 2023; BA Michigan State University 2020.
