From the Archives: Music & Lyrics
No. 1
Vol. 27
Winter 2024

The Winter 2024 edition of The Dramatist is an adventure through our publications archive, beginning with “So Which Comes First, the Words or the Music?” by Sheldon Harnick from the Spring 1967 Dramatists Guild Quarterly. Following is a Summer 1973 theatre music roundtable with Al Carmines, Jeffrey Sweet, and Nancy Ford; then a two-part Q&A session with Stephen Sondheim from 1991. The issue also includes Susan Birkenhead’s “Some Thoughts on Lyric Writing” from Sep/Oct 2009 and a May/Jun 2013 roundtable, “Musical Women,” with Lynn Ahrens, Amanda Green, Julia Jordan, Joy Son, and moderated by Kirsten Childs

But not everything’s from the archives! Christine Toy Johnson reports on her DGF Catalyst for Change fellowship, Betty Shamieh answers “Ten Questions,” and Jakob Holder re-introduces the Edward Albee Foundation’s residency program.
