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.
