THINK YOU KNOW AMERICAN THEATRE?
THINK AGAIN.
The New American Theatre is a dynamic marketplace of ideas, where thoughts and issues are voiced, shared, and explored by a community of theatre professionals, and those who enjoy it.
American Theatre is a Forum where artists talk about their work, and reflect in profound ways on the creative process itself, on what it means to be an artist, and how they channel their aspirations.
American Theatre is a repository, and a vital source of information for anyone and everyone concerned with contemporary theatre. We cover a wide variety of theatrical disciplines: acting, playwriting, directing, design, producing, and management as well as international theatre festivals, reports on international theatrical trends, and global artists and companies.
American Theatre’s exciting redesign has brought theatre lovers across the country to our vibrant new pages which include:
- Complete play scripts accompanied by playwright interviews;
- Opinion, commentary, essays;
- Nationwide production schedules;
- International festivals, and
- Professional appointments field-wide.
In addition to publishing five complete plays (July/August, September, December, February and April) don’t miss our annual October Season Preview issue, forecasting the theatre season from coast-to-coast and our 14th annual January Approaches to Theatre Training issue.
