Canadian Theatre Review is the major magazine of record for Canadian 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.

This includes an ongoing and active search for writers from historically marginalized and silenced communities.Trends and tangents in Canadian theatre are examined in quarterly thematic issues to initiate and provoke discussion on issues of concern to the theatre community. Both new and established playwrights find a voice in CTR.

Each issue includes at least one complete playscript related to the issue theme, insightful articles, and informative reviews. CTR continues to delve into issues of Canadian theatre, providing theatre scholars with a starting point for further study of current developments in the field. Recent themes detailed by the Canadian Theatre Review include Native Theatre, Actor Training, Canadian Women Playwrights, and Scenography.

Canadian Theatre Review proudly acknowledges the support of The Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council and the Department of Canadian Heritage through the Publications Assistance Program and the Canadian Magazine Fund.
