Need a dramaturg?

I am a trained and experienced new play dramaturg, specializing in queer and trans plays by queer and trans playwrights (though I am happy to work outside that specialty!)

SERVICES I CAN OFFER:

• Notes on a draft

• Feedback session on a draft (in-person or virtual)

• Continued dramaturgical support for a project as it develops

• Informal discussion (in-person or virtual) to bounce ideas and try things out

My rates are negotiable based on the project.

 TESTIMONIALS:

“I can’t recommend Jaye’s dramaturgy services enough! I’ve got very little experience working with dramaturgs, so sending an early draft of my new play to a professional made me anxious. But Jaye took so much time and care with their reading and feedback!

After sharing my play, I received a very in-depth response that covered not only the initial questions I asked of them, but also overarching notes I would never have thought of. Their ideas really jogged my brain and illuminated both what already works and clear points that had untapped potential. Their feedback was also very supportive, focusing on the current draft of the script but also encouraging what the script can become. As someone who hesitates to let anyone read my drafts ever, I felt really comforted and appreciated by Jaye’s response. It made me want to start rewrites immediately!

Jaye both uplifted my current work and provided a thorough, straightforward critique that will push my work to its fullest potential. If you’re looking for a dramaturg who will give you clear notes with a helping hand, Jaye’s a perfect fit.” – Liv Shoup, playwright
