Submissions to Theatre/Practice are usually limited to work presented at the immediate past Mid America Theatre Conference. However, inquiries about eligibility of work presented at prior MATC conferences are also welcome.

 

Prospective authors/contributors/collaborators are invited to submit artifacts by July 1, 2024 for Volume 14.

 

These could be expanded any of the following: publication-ready essays, plays in 10-minute formats with introductory materials, explications of teaching methodologies presented for pedagogical considerations, or another idea that you develop into a publishable form. Please reach out with your ideas!

 

Essays should be expanded versions of papers presented at the 2024 MATC conference in Madison. Multi-author contributions from roundtables, panels or “unconference” generated discussions are also encouraged. Playwrights are welcome to write a preface or reflection to process to provide context for submitted scripts, or to collaborate with dramaturgs, directors or respondent on such contextual material. We would love to receive expanded notions of what defines “theatre scholarship” for inclusion in a peer-reviewed, open-access journal.

 

After submissions, articles and artifacts will undergo mutually anonymous peer reviews (by at least one reader), and will receive careful attention from an editor.

 

Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the most recent edition of the Chicago Manual of Style and can be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or plain-text formats to Editor Karin Waidley at email address thr.practice.editor@matc.us.

 

Work should not be under consideration or in print elsewhere. If your manuscript or artifact is accepted for publication, it will appear in a PDF format that is available for reading online, downloading, and printing.

 

We encourage submissions of photographs to complement manuscript submissions; the site does not have sufficient capacity to host video files, but off-site links to videos are welcome. Please include appropriate permissions and credits for any media.

 

If you have any questions, ideas or inquiries of any kind, feel free to reach out to me at thr.practice.editor@matc.us. . We look forward to receiving your submissions!
