The Theatre Journal is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering the theatre arts, [1] with articles from the October and December issues centering on a predetermined theme. It is an official publication of The Association for Theatre in Higher Education [2] and is published on their behalf by the Johns Hopkins University Press.
The journal was established in 1949 as the Educational Theatre Journal and obtained its current name in 1979. [3] The American Educational Theatre Association intended the journal to serve the field of educational theatre and drama in a manner similar to how the Quarterly Journal of Speech and Publications of the Modern Language Association of America served the fields of speech and modern languages respectively. [4] The founding editor-in-chief was Barnard Hewitt ( University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign). Other past editors include Oscar Brockett, James S. Moy, Sue-Ellen Case, Enoch Brater, William B. Worthen, Janelle Reinelt, Loren Kruger, David McDonald, Susan Bennett, David Román, Harry Elam, Jean Graham-Jones, Penny Farfan, Ric Knowles, Joanne Tompkins, and Jennifer Parker-Starbuck. [5]
