Dramaturgy and Its Effect on Theatrical Productions and Scriptwriting

Abstract

I have loved the world of theatre for as long as I can remember. My father first saw my mother when she was acting in a play, so I also sort of owe my life to theatre. However, my love boils down to one thing: I believe it is one of the closest ways we can get to peering into someone’s soul and hearing their stories. Although I started at ECU wanting to be an actor, I discovered a deep passion for producing projects, both my own and for others. I have always wanted a chance to create a work of my own and produce it for the world to see, even before I started college. By combining my Independent Study for my degree and the Signature Honors Project, I was able to get one step closer to achieving that dream.
