Monday Night Guest Speaker Series

Each Monday night the Playwrights Lab at Hollins University and Mill Mountain Theatre present a talk by a prominent working professional theatre artist. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing the Monday Night Guest Speaker Series will be presented live via Zoom.

This week's guest is Heather Helinsky.

Helinsky has been the resident dramaturg at the Great Plains Theatre Conference since 2010. In 2016, Helinsky received a summer fellowship to the ONeill National Critics Institute and received mentorship from Chris Jones. She was the production dramaturg for Tira Palmquists Two Degrees at the Denver Center and Andrea Harts premiere of dark is a different beast in San Francisco. For the Kennedy Center, Helinsky mentors student dramaturgs, regionally and nationally, and reads for the David Mark Cohen award. She received her M.F.A. in dramaturgy and theatre studies from the ART/MXAT Institute for Advanced Theatre Training at Harvard.
