Welcome to the Dramaturgy Section of the  
August Wilson Journal

Welcome to the Dramaturgy Section of the August Wilson Journal.  
My name is Melonnie Walker and I am the Dramaturgy Editor.  The goal of 
this section is to connect our readers with the real experiences of 
production dramaturgs who are working on productions of August Wilson's 
plays.  By sharing different approaches to the work of Mr. Wilson, we 
dramaturgs align ourselves with the journal's mission of promoting the 
study, teaching and performance of his plays in an effort to preserve his 
legacy.
