Testimonials

Christine Scarfuto is one of my very favorite people in the world to make plays with. She brings keen insight, fantastic ideas, and amazing grace under pressure to every process… she’s a secret weapon for playwrights and a treasure for institutions. She’s inimitable - and I can’t wait to work with her again! – Kate Hamill

Christine Scarfuto is a dramaturg whose innate grasp of structure, tone and character makes her a brilliant collaborator for any playwright. She is keenly observant and able to speak to both her collaborators and her students in a way that is specific to how each one thinks and works, meeting them wherever they are. I've had the pleasure of being in many rehearsal rooms with Christine - starting back in graduate school - and have been impressed again and again by her fierce advocacy for plays and playwrights, as well as her genuine enthusiasm for theatre and her tireless interrogation of what makes a piece of theatre work. – Jen Silverman

It's increasingly rare to come across a collaborator who invests so deeply in the success of the project at hand. Even more rare is it to encounter a dramaturg who demonstrates such immense care toward the many writers she elevates and celebrates. To work with Christine is to have a partner-in-process who takes seriously the challenges of making a theatre that lives and breathes. I would not be the artist I am today without her friendship and invaluable contribution to my plays and to my spirit.  – John J. Caswell Jr.

Christine Scarfuto is one of the premiere dramaturgs in the country. Her long career in new work development is a testament to her skill and knowledge of dramatic structure. Add her warmth and sense of humor, Christine is a dream collaborator. Her contributions to the early development of my first piece Where Did We Sit on the Bus? were pivotal in how I’d approach my future writing. – Brian Quijada
