Script Coverage

There are many reasons an organization or agency might be overwhelmed with script submissions. Script Coverage can help with efficiency, as well as bring in diverse prospectives. Price varies depending on amount of notes required and volume of scripts

ABOUT ME

My name is Lindsay Jenkins, but I'm known to my friends and clients as L.J. I am a culture consultant, dramaturg, producer and educator based in Southern California. I have extensive experience working one-on-one with artists across mediums on the development of new work. As a culture consultant and researcher, I specialize in Black Performance Heritage, connecting past performances to contemporary experiences. As a dramaturg, I believe it is critical to listen to the artist in order to understand and execute their vision. As a producer, I am invested in the future of Black theatre and Black art in Los Angeles and beyond.

    I believe in the power of storytelling to both name and claim a history, while simultaneously contributing to culture. My strong theatre background has served me well as I expand into podcasts, film and television. As an educator, I love facilitating conversations with students of all ages. I am open to opportunities anywhere in the world, from Los Angeles to New York to Paris. If you think I might be a good fit for your project, I'd love to hear all about it! Click Here to schedule a 15 minute consultation and let's get to work.

In Solidarity, 

Lindsay A. Jenkins
