Are you a playwright interested in working together? Whether you're looking for feedback on an early draft, fresh eyes on a play that's been in the drawer, or advice on submission materials, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
But don't take my word for it!
Ramona is a gem of a dramaturg. She is imaginative and incisive. I count on Ramona for clear heartfelt feedback when I share a script with her. Ramona sees directly into the heart of a story and asks questions that open up new storytelling possibilities. — Lila Rose Kaplan, playwright
Ramona is an exceedingly insightful, kind, and generous collaborator and dramaturg. Her questions and observations opened my understanding of my play Girlish in fresh and exciting ways, while also strengthening my confidence. She just always “got it” — and more than that, helped me find the words to articulate that “it” both in the text via revisions but also in the rehearsal room. Her depth of understanding was invaluable and I feel very lucky to have worked with her. — Alexa Derman, playwright
Ramona is a wonder and any theatermaker would be lucky to work with her. From interrogating the thematic resonances of a play to managing a project's complicated logistics, she approaches all her work with cheerful curiosity and clear communication. She is passionate, kind, and very bright; I'm always excited to see what she does next. — Anne G. Morgan, Literary Manager, American Shakespeare Center
Ramona worked with me on two very different scripts in terms of genre, tone, and story line. Both times she was insightful, sensitive, and thoughtful in her questions, comments, and suggestions. She’s a pleasure to work with! — Johnnie Dunn, playwright
