This Experiment Called A Life in The Arts



Above you will see a clip form an interview with Harold Clurman, and we here at The Savannah Dramaturgy cannot agree more. This voice from our past has particularly cogent things to say to us today, in Savannah.

Our community, our city, stands at the threshold of the potential for great things, dramatically speaking. Times of flux and uncertainty are the precise times that the powerful individuals that we find in a dramatic community can step up. We can be idealists... perhaps Savannah needs a few more schmucks.

And yet, I wonder how much a group of individuals will be able to accomplish without a little bit of discussion and cooperation among themselves. One too many vanity projects, and all one has is a broken mirror, reflecting fragments back to the community. Never underestimate the power of schmucks in large numbers.

Given this, The Savannah Dramaturgy renews its pledge to serve all dramatic outlets in our community. We will try our damndest to start seeing everything, not just a few chosen companies. However, we cannot do this alone, and will need at least some help in this coverage.
