Visiting dramaturg Liz Engelman (left) and sophomore Max Rissman discuss Rissman’s one-act play “Razor Love” Sept. 25 in the A.E. Hotchner Studio Theatre. The “talk-back” session followed a staged reading — directed by Jeffery Matthews, senior lecturer in the Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences — held as part of the PAD’s 2009 A.E. Hotchner Playwriting Festival. Engelman, a freelance dramaturg from Minneapolis and board chair of Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas, has helped develop new plays across the country.
