Ardent academic appreciation of theater has earned a sophomore theater and English major of the Robert E. Cook Honors College at Indiana University of Pennsylvania national recognition for her dramaturgy skill.

Indiana, PA (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- Jessica Sabol has served as dramaturg for IUP productions including The Beauty Queen of Leenane, a contemporary Irish dark comedy, and Kindertransport, a play about children being saved from the Holocaust. She is the dramaturg for IUP's current production of King Henry IV Part I.


"As a dramaturg, I am typically in charge of much of the research and writing behind a theatrical production. This role, however, is different for every production, and I design my own process with each show I work on. In The Beauty Queen of Leenane, historical research beyond the basics was not necessary so I approached it emotively for both the company and the audience's emotional response and understanding."

"I solely worked with history during Kindertransport, and for the department's current production of King Henry IV Part I, I am working to bring the understanding between the true history of England to the theatrical history created by Shakespeare."
