welcome!
I'm a dramaturg who specializes in creating/ developing new work.
I believe in:
appreciation and inclusivity
the value of risk
relentless curiosity
not being afraid to take up space
making room to play
pursuing excellence in all aspects of the endeavor
This is me:
Percival Hornak is a dramaturg, playwright, and literary manager who loves theatricality, ghost stories, and plays about lesbians. He is proud to be Resident Dramaturg/Literary Manager of Team Awesome Robot, a play development collaborative based in NYC. He is also a coproducer of Dungeons and Drama Nerds, a podcast exploring the intersection between theatre and tabletop role-playing games.
Percy spent two seasons as an Allen Lee Hughes Fellow in Arena Stage's Literary office, where he worked on several productions as a script supervisor and production dramaturg. He has also served as Artistic Resident at Luna Stage and a Research, Policy, and Collective Action intern at the Theatre Communications Group. Other companies Percy has worked with include Andy’s Summer Playhouse, where he is currently serving as Digital Dramaturg on the Digital Renaissance Project.
