CALL FOR PAPERS: Journal of American Drama and Theatre // Deadline: 1 December 2016

[ENCATC Performing Arts Management]

The American Theatre and Drama Society invites submissions for the Spring 2017 issue of the Journal of American Drama and Theatre. Scholars are invited to explore questions such as: How did theatrical production and reception in the Americas become entwined with the Industrial Revolution?  What did “nature” mean in popular American drama?  How have the meanings of this key term changed over the years? In view of our current concerns about the causes and effects of climate change, how might “Indian plays,” “working-class theatre,” “immigrant drama,” and other traditional categories of scholarship in our discipline be reinterpreted? What is the carbon footprint of a typical blockbuster musical in New York City today?  On the road?  How are contemporary American playwrights and companies addressing the concerns of global climate justice?
