Institutional Dramaturgies

This issue examines new tendencies in institutional dramaturgy through theater landscapes across the world: both the stagnations and transformations of theaters on public-facing and internal fronts. What’s onstage meets only part of their relationship with the public. As they respond to ongoing political, social, cultural, and economic societal demands and discourses, theater institutions face questions about how their public identities are constituted, who their constituent public is, and how to satisfy calls for equity, diversity, and inclusion. The international slate of authors featured here will bring these questions into conversations spanning theaters in North and South America, as well as Europe and Asia.
