Dramaturg Anne Cattaneo explains her primary responsibilities, and likens her job to an acquisitions editor in a publishing house. Cattaneo has developed an extensive knowledge of languages, culture, and theatre history. In-depth research is often required for productions with complex timelines such as "The Coast of Utopia" trilogy. The current production of "The Grand Manner" seen here utilized historical documents found at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
