The Season That Was Not/Was Issue 2019-2020

No. 6

Vol. 22

Jul/Aug 2020

The 2020 Season in Review edition celebrates the world premiere productions that opened and acknowledges the world premieres that closed early or were canceled due to COVID-19. Conceived in the early days of the pandemic, and titled The Season That Was Not/Was, the issue opens with DG's Statement condemning the Spring 2020 Discriminatory Attacks Against Asian Americans. At the heart of the Season in Review issue is Tina Fallon's poignantly optimistic essay We Go On, which shines light on the resilience, perseverance, and adaptability of the dramatists who refused to give up hope even in the darkest depths of the pandemic.

THE DRAMATIST is made possible by funding from the Council of the Dramatists Guild of America, a generous gift from the JOHN LOGAN FOUNDATION through a grant from the Dramatists Guild Foundation, and contributions from Guild members LIKE YOU.
