A specialist in dramaturgy; a person trained in analyzing, researching, and advising on the artistic and technical elements of dramatic works.
From dramaturge + -ist suffix (one who practices or specializes). The -ist ending, from Latin/Greek, marks professionals or specialists in a field.
Dramaturgists often have master's degrees and spend years studying old plays to understand what the playwright meant and how to make it speak to modern audiences—they're the bridge between dead plays and living theaters, bringing dusty words back to life.
