About Us

Kuvar Bhatnagar(He/Him)

Hi there, my name is Kuvar and I am a Junior here at SUNY Oswego. I am currently a double major in Dramaturgy and Technology Education. Throughout my time at Oswego I have been a dramaturg for many shows - She Kills Monsters, In The Cotton, The Misanthrope, It's A Wonderful Life, Elsewhere, and now A Play Where Nothing Happens. As well as that I have been involved in some virtual theatre work, for plays such as 2xyx, ABS, Ghost Story, TellyHead, and The Fantod Pack. Throughout my career I have won six awards from the annual KCACTF festival for my dramaturgy work.

Yo! My name is James Hough and I'm a final semester senior who's looking forward to my last hurrah as a SUNY Oswego Dramaturg. Similar to my fellow 'Turg Kuvar (who I'm MUCH better than) I've been involved with many of the Theatre productions here on campus. Those include: She Kills Monsters, In The Cotton, The Misanthrope, It's A Wonderful Life, A Play Where Nothing Happens and The Wedding Singer. Alongside that, I've won two awards for my Dramaturgy at the annual KCACTF festival.
