Led by current University of Iowa Dramaturgy MFA candidates Molly Winstead, Morgan Grambo, and Luke White; along with other current and recent Dramaturgy graduate students from various programs, this roundtable discussion will focus on searching for, getting accepted to, and getting the most out of graduate programs in Dramaturgy. We will begin by discussing the various paths one can take between undergraduate and graduate studies, the merits of graduate studies in our field, and what one should consider prior to applying for graduate studies.  We will attempt to offer insight into successful applications and interview processes. We will then dive into how to make the most of one’s program: from mentorship, coursework, and production work, to how to make the most of summer breaks. The discussion will conclude with a look at post-graduate paths and job hunting. This roundtable discussion is intended primarily for early career dramaturgs and their educators.
