The English language is full of peculiar words–just ask anyone who’s studied for the GRE or LSAT. Here’s one of recent discovery: dramaturg. The definition is as unconventional as the word itself. It’s a person in the theater whose responsibilities range from casting a play and assisting the director to creating programs and acting as playwright. The Kitchen Dog Theater recently collaborated with Allison Horsley–a nationally-recognized dramaturg–on its production of The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. The play is a classic, with aspects of both tragedy and comedy, and takes the audience on a journey of the human condition. Horsley advised the cast and crew on getting into the deeper meaning of each character–adding valuable insight that will make the production all the more intense. The Seagull runs through May 8 at the Kitchen Dog Theater, 3120 McKinney Ave. For tickets ($15 to $25) and showtimes, call 214-953-1055 or visit kitchendogtheater.org.

Thursdays-Sundays. Starts: April 9. Continues through May 8, 2010
