Rob Silverman Ascher is a dramaturg, writer, educator, and friend.

On-call dramaturgy.

I am a Chicago-based dramaturg looking to make an impact and find new collaborators.


I have tons of experience as both a new-play workshop dramaturg and as a production dramaturg. Are you looking for new eyes on a draft? Do you have specific research needs for your bold vision? I am here to help. Contact me below if you want to work together!

And yes, I also have a podcast.

Currently on hiatus. I talk to artists of all walks of life about their lives, their projects, and more.

Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher! Returning soon.
