Production Dramaturgy

Whether it is digging into a new historical context, moderating a post show discussion with the audience, or creating an engaging study guide, Janine’s focus in production dramaturgy is about building a bridge between every participant (including director, production team, cast, and audience) and the show on stage. She loves to enrich everyone’s experience with the story. To work with Janine on a production, please contact her here.
