Dramaturgy Services
Hello fellow playwrights!
I am currently on summer vacation from school, and I'm looking to gain some experience and make some money, so I wanted to offer some dramaturgical services here for anyone who might be interested. As for what those services are:
- I'll read your play twice
- After the first reading, I'll give general thoughts on the play
- After the second (close) reading, I'll write out grammar and formatting notes, as well as some content notes
Before discussing prices, why might someone want me to read their play? Well, I won the SPARC New Voices competition in 2024 and got to work with Alyssa Haddad-Chin in a workshop. I was also a semi-finalist for The Blank Theatre's Young Playwrights Festival in 2025. One of my full-length plays was slated for production with a community theatre (scrapped for unrelated reasons), I've written a handful of well-received comedy sketches, and I've self-produced a short play in my community to a strong positive reception. I've been doing this work for three years now, and in that time I've been a table reader for some playwright friends and done some dramaturgy for some folks on this subreddit.
With that being said, I know that I'm not a professional, so my prices will be cheap:
- Short Play (<20 pages): $5
- One-Act (20-45 pages): $8
- Full-Length (45+ pages): $15
Hopefully my experience and my low prices will be enough to convince some of you that this could be a useful service for you.
