As a dramaturg and theatre practitioner, I have always asked the essential question, "Why now?" When I serve as a dramaturg, I work with the director, the actors, and the audience to continuously examine what is the importance of this story in our society at this specific cultural moment. 

I have had the opportunity to put this mindset into practice with productions drawings crowds of hundreds of audience members. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to meet and interview Academy Award-winning Tarrell Alvin McCraney in a talkback while serving as the dramaturg for The Theatre School's production of Wig Out! In 2017, I worked with Off-Broadway playwright Mickle Mahr on his new play, Michael Jordan in Lilliput. Most recently, I worked as a Dramaturgy and Education Intern at the Semperoper in Dresden, Germany assisting in dramaturgical research, translations, and every day in the rehearsal room for their most recent production of "Die Verkaufte Braut."

Below are a sampling of the productions that I have worked on as a dramaturg along with some of the accompanying documents that I created for those productions. If you would further samples of my dramaturgical portfolio such as sections of my researched actor packets, please contact me at trisha@trishamahoney.com.
