Teaching Theatre Today Pedagogical Views of Theatre in Higher Education

We teach students of theatre to perform, to direct, to design, and encourage their studies in theatre history, theory and criticism, playwriting and comparative dramatic literature. We engage in various teaching and learning experiences daily. But what pedagogies seem best for and encouraged by the art of theatre? As author and veteran theatre educator, Patti P. Gillespie states, 'The time is ripe for a major reassessment of what we have done, what we are doing, and what we might do in the future to better our fields for the twenty-first century'. Teaching Theatre Today offers historical and contemporaneous insights into teaching and learning in academic theatre. The essays, which include a piece from a British scholar, present a beginning to a pedagogical assessment that is beneficial to the life of theatre in academia.
