  1. My two cents: I would recommend trying to get some experience doing dramaturgy before going down the graduate school road. Having experience in your background will probably make you a more competitive candidate. It can also help you to A: confirm you want to pursue an advanced degree in the field, and B: help you to discern what kind of specialization and experience you want in graduate school and in your career. You said that you’ve fallen in love with the idea of dramaturgy, and I will simply point out that this might not inherently mean you will actually fall in love with the practice of dramaturgy or an English degree. Futhermore different schools offer different types of experiences and may have different goals. Do you want to be a literary manager, a new play dramaturg, a teacher, a critic, etc.? Try to get your hands dirty first. Internships in dramaturgy, literary management, etc. would be a great place to start. I see no reason why you would need an advanced degree to qualify for an internship. I would recommend applying for a few, and see where that takes you. The people you meet doing an internship could also be a great resource for letters of recommendation, networking, learning about different programs, etc.
