discuss with the director? What role does the dramaturg have in educating the audience?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER:Dramaturgs
usually attend rehearsal at select intervals.
Production dramaturgs might discuss with directors what they were striving to achieve.
Production dramaturgs might also discuss disparities they noticed between the director's
intentions and what the dramaturg saw on the stage.
In addition, production dramaturgs might discuss reasons for the disparity between the
intention and the realities of the production.
Production dramaturgs might educate the audience by supplying information about the
play, its past, this production, or other matters that will help those who do publicity.
They might also educate the audience by providing material for the printed program.
If the theatre has an outreach program that takes productions into schools or brings
student audiences to the theatre, the dramaturg may have responsibility for assembling
auxiliary materials to prepare the audience.
The dramaturg may also be responsible for "talk back" discussions between theatre
personnel and audiences after performances.
