Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism

About JDTC

The Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism (JDTC) was founded in 1986 at the University of Kansas by John Gronbeck-Tedesco and Paul Newell Campbell. The Journal publishes full-length articles that contribute to the varied conversations in dramatic theory and criticism, explore the relationship between theory and theatre practice, and/or examine recent scholarship by a single author.

Scott Magelssen is the current editor of the journal, having replaced outgoing editor Iris Smith Fischer in the fall of 2010. Gronbeck-Tedesco (who was editor himself for 21 years) and Fischer still serve as the Journal's consulting editors.

JDTC is published twice each year by the Departments of Theatre and English with the support of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
