LMDA’s long-time partnership with foolsFURY continues with a brand-new art form we call Microturgy.

The Dramaturgy Microgrant Project exists to support freelance and institutional dramaturgs, literary staff, and all who identify their work as committing acts of dramaturgy who are un- or under-employed during this period of crisis in the theater.
