First up in the Skype Salon: Dr. Toby Malone

Toby Malone, Dramaturge at Soulpepper Theatre

We recently launched the Interdisciplinary Dramaturgy "Skype Salons" and our debut guest in the salon was Dr. Toby Malone, dramaturge at Toronto's prestigious Soulpepper Theatre. Toby shared his insights on the Toronto theatre scene, his journey into dramaturgy, and the challenges and rewards of both new play development and classical dramaturgy.

The students weigh in with their responses in the comments; feel free to weigh in as well!

As part of this falls Advanced Topics in Dramaturgy class, which is focused on interdisciplinarity, we had the wonderful opportunity to bring together four alums of theatre programs at the University of Arizona.

Smith (MA in theatre education/outreach), Cyndi LaFrese (BA in Theatre Arts), Chris Olander (BFA in Acting) and Kelly Holt (BA in Theatre Arts).
