About this book

Through thirteen essays, Teaching Theatre Today addresses the changing nature of educational theory, curricula, and teaching methods in theatre programs of colleges and universities of the United States and Great Britain.

Reviews

"As performance studies continues to widen theatre curricula, this significant anthology offers faculty a means of integrating 'new' theories into 'old' practices...As the editors intend, I hope this long-overdue book will stimulate the necessary conversations not only about new pedagogical theories and methods, but also about reconfigurations of live theatre itself for the twenty-first century." - Jeanne Klein, Theatre Topics
