"My Audience Isn't Ready for That"
If you’ve ever said, “I’d love to do [insert play/musical title here], but I’m not sure my community will go for it,” then this masterclass is for you! Develop key strategies to actively prepare audiences, navigate complex or sensitive themes, and engage your community. Discover how well-crafted blurbs, panel discussions, and community events can minimize risk in selecting your season and promote open dialogue.
Facilitator Lenora Inez Brown is the author of The Art of Active Dramaturgy, and former Head of Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism at The Theatre School, DePaul University. She has served as a dramaturg at numerous new-play workshops and festivals, and helped initiate Madison Rep’s new play festival.

She is a past president of Theatre for Young Audience/USA, and holds a B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.F.A. in Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism from the Yale School of Drama.
