"I realized that the job of dramaturgy isn’t to identify what’s wrong with plays & help fix them; rather the work was to encourage or inspire writers back to their desks, to embolden them to go the rest of the way..." –Todd London via @HowlRound bit.ly/3FhtMdE

I was deeply honored to be asked to contribute to @lizlerman’s new book, Critique is Creative: The Critical Response Process in Theory and Action - an in depth study of CRP in the field. It is fascinating to see how artists in so many different disciplines work with CRP.

A little glimpse from rehearsal of the fun we’ve been having at @vaopera - Making opera is particularly challenging right now, but so rewarding as we see audiences coming back into the theater!

We told you #ThreeDecembers has a shoe song! It's just one of the numbers that make this opera so unique! Hampton Roads, catch the show at Harrison Opera House this weekend! After that, we head to Fairfax and Richmond!

We often look to Stephen Sondheim as a teacher at ALT, though he never stepped into our studio. His genius is a constant source of inspiration for composers & librettists alike, and his influence will be felt in both musical theater and opera for generations to come. RIP.
