"I realized that the job of dramaturgy isn’t to identify what’s wrong with plays & help fix them; rather the work was to encourage or inspire writers back to their desks, to embolden them to go the rest of the way..." –Todd London via @HowlRound bit.ly/3FhtMdE

We often look to Stephen Sondheim as a teacher at ALT, though he never stepped into our studio. His genius is a constant source of inspiration for composers & librettists alike, and his influence will be felt in both musical theater and opera for generations to come. RIP.
