The Journal of Dramatic Theory and Criticism seeks articles of three types for future issues:
- essays of 20-25 manuscript pages, exclusive of notes, addressing paradigms used in or potentially useful for dramatic theory and criticism, broadly conceived;
- essays of 15-25 manuscript pages, exclusive of notes, investigating praxis, such as theatre practices that raise questions about the nature of theatre, drama, or performance;
- shorter essays, interviews, or dialogues reflecting on the field by examining a body of work by an individual author or a recent theoretical or critical trend.
