JADT 2024

The editors of the Journal of American Drama and Theatre are now accepting submissions for essays on any topics relating to theatre, drama, and popular entertainments of the Americas for consideration. Please submit completed manuscripts to jadtjournal@gmail.com by December 15, 2023 for consideration in the Fall 2024 issue.

Our aim is to promote research on theatre of the Americas and to encourage historical and theoretical approaches to plays, playwrights, performances, and popular theatre traditions. Studies of dramatic texts from a purely literary perspective are outside the scope of the journal. Manuscripts should be 6,000 to 8,000 words in length and prepared in conformity with the Chicago Manual of Style, using footnotes. Completed manuscripts should be submitted as Microsoft Word attachments via e-mail to jadtjournal@gmail.com using Microsoft Word. Articles will be peer reviewed, so please allow 3 to 4 months for a decision. If you are using images, please provide the images and captions with your submission. (Please Note: images should be at least 300dpi and authors are responsible for securing permissions before submission)

JADT also publishes book reviews. If you would like to propose a review, please email Book Review Editor Dr. Maya Roth at jadtbookreviews@gmail.com.
