theatre. It is committed to excellence in the critical analysis
and innovative coverage of current developments in Canadian
theatre, to advocating new issues and artists, and to publishing
at least one significant new playscript per issue. The editorial
board is committed to CTR's practice of theme issues that present
multi-faceted and in-depth examinations of the emerging issues
of the day and to expanding the practice of criticism in Canadian
theatre and to the development of new voices.
