Save the Dates — June 26-28, 2025

This is a time that calls for building collaborative action! Please mark your calendars for LMDA's first bi-national conference at the border of San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico. This year’s conference offers a unique opportunity for theater scholars, artists, and practitioners from across North America to explore the role of dramaturgy and creative infrastructure in theater arts

Whether you are new to the field and want a place to learn and build community or you are already established and are seeking a forum for instituting change or simply long to reconnect with colleagues, this is your opportunity. We hope you will join us for what promises to be an enlightening, entertaining, and engaging event!
