Editorial Policy and Practices

Theatre Survey is chartered by the American Society for Theatre Research as a theatre history journal. Its theatrical and historical orientations are broadly conceived. Performance-centered and historiographic studies from all points across the historical, cultural, and methodological spectra are welcome. Dramatic literature studies not substantively related to actual performances are outside the journal’s purview.

Articles should be submitted in hard-copy triplicate and electronically (Microsoft Word document), and should also include a brief abstract of the essay (ca. 250 words). Manuscripts of twenty-five to forty pages in length, standard type (Times New Roman or the like), paginated lower center and double-spaced throughout, including endnotes, should be prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. Articles submitted to Re: Sources should be ten to twenty pages in length. Titles of publications cited should be italicized and bold fonts avoided. Manuscripts will not be returned. Contributors are responsible for obtaining permission and paying costs to reproduce any materials, including illustrations, for which they do not hold the copyright. To secure a blind reading, the title of the essay, author’s name, mailing address, phone and FAX numbers, and e-mail address should appear on a detachable cover sheet (the title repeated on the first page of text).

Editor's Forum

A new venue designed to provide our readers with an opportunity to raise scholarly and professional concerns, issues, and questions in a collegial way, the Editor's Forum will continue conversations begun in previous issues and, we hope, on occasion, initiate new ones. Readers are invited to write to the Editor of Theatre Survey when the spirit moves them, bearing in mind the policy below. We look forward to hearing from you.

Theatre Survey invites letters that comment on articles in previous issues or on matters of interest to the American Society for Theatre Research. The Editor the right to reject or edit contributions and will offer TS authors whose work is discussed in published letters the opportunity to reply. Footnotes are strongly discouraged; and any letter that exceeds 500 words will not be considered. Occasionally, the Editor's Forum will contain letters submitted at the Editor's request. Given the nature of our biennial publication schedule, a letter destined for the subsequent issue would ideally be submitted within a few weeks of receipt of the issue to which he or she is responding (in order to arrive at our offices in time).

Please address editorial correspondence in both electronic form (Microsoft Word) and hard copy (double-spaced) to the editor, Martin Puchner, at the address above.
