About the Contributors
This website was created as part of the Dramaturgy course (DRM331) at the University of Toronto (St. George). The class was divided into groups near the beginning of the semester (Fall 2020). As a class, we read Come Good Rain, then later had a Q&A session with George Seremba to help guide our research.
For many. this course was a preliminary venture into the vast world of dramaturgy. This website represents the culmination of several months of learning, observing, and growing together as artists and academics.
All work in the course was carried out remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
