  Dramaturgy in a Time of Terror
  The Traveling Dramaturg

Welcome to Larry Loebell's home page. This site serves as a combination vita, press kit, and sampler for my playwriting, dramaturgy, teaching, and other work. Here are some highlights:

My plays are listed at the left. Descriptions can be found by following the links. Five of my plays can be purchased through Playscripts.com including my monologue BUT WHO'S COUNTING in a publication called "Actor's Choice: Monologues for Women." My play, La Tempestad, is published in a great anthology called Playing With Canons: Explosive New Works from Great Literature by America's Indie Playwrights, which can be purchased here. In addition, several monologues from La Tempestad have been published shortly in Smith and Krause and Applause monologue books, and scenes are also forthcoming from House, Divided.

Over the last 20 years I have also worked as a film and television writer, director, and producer. Samples and descriptions of this work can be found by following the Film and Television link. I have also written for several non-profit organizations and museums.

Since 2005 I have been working as a free-lance dramaturg, including for the PlayPenn play development conference (2005 through 2009), for New Paradise Laboratories (2005) and at Seven Devils Playwrights Conference (2007, 2009). I continue to maintain strong ties to InterAct Theatre Company where I worked as the staff literary manager and dramaturg from 1998 to 2005.

I have been teaching at area colleges and universities since 1977. I have taught English composition and Literature, playwriting, dramaturgy, film and television production, narrative film and documentary film history, and screenwriting. Since 1998 I have been an adjunct professor at the University of the Arts in the Writing for Film and Television Department, teaching the history of narrative cinema. I am also currently on the adjunct faculty at Arcadia University teaching playwriting and dramaturgy.

For inquiries about my availability for work or for writing-related inquiries, please contact me directly at Larry@Loebell.com.

Thanks for visiting my site.
