Literary Managers And Dramaturgs Of The Americas Announces Panel Discussion

In the wake of the recent debate around the Encores! Big River revival, Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA) is convening a panel of some of the theater industry's premier thinkers and art makers to discuss the roles and responsibilities of producers, artists, and critics in the portrayal of underrepresented experiences on stage.

Says LMDA President Ken Cerniglia: "Our organization is in a unique position to bring the theater community together around this topic. Dramaturgs share a deep interest in cultivating dialogue and exploring topics within cultural and historical context. LMDA's membership includes professionals who work as artists, producers, journalists, and administrators - all of whom have a stake in conversations about representation and meaning. I am hopeful we can move beyond the specifics of recent controversies toward a dialogue that pushes our community and culture forward."
