Resident Dramaturg

Alyson Germinder will graduate with a B.A. in Theatre Performance from the University of Missouri in May 2013. Her dramaturgy credits include MU Theatre’s Medea, which won her the National LMDA/KCACTF Dramaturgy Award this past January. She’ll travel to the Kennedy Center in April for the national festival, and to Kansas City in the fall for the start of her M.A. in Theatre program at UMKC. Additional past dramaturgy credits with Independent Actors Theatre include tempOdyssey, short Women’s Play Festival 5, and the upcoming spring 2013 production of Distant Music. She credits her dramaturgy success to her performance background, most notably her roles as Dao Ming in The Lost Slipper and Gertrude in Hamlet at MU. Upon graduation, she has her sights set on bright lights, Midwest cities, and a large golden retriever named Charlie.
