A "patron of dramatists" refers to an individual or organization that provides support, financial assistance, or resources to playwrights and theater artists. Patrons often help facilitate the creation and production of new works, promoting the arts and encouraging creativity. This support can be crucial in the development of theatrical projects, ensuring that dramatists have the means to bring their stories to life.
