Comedia Performance: Journal of the Association for Hispanic Classical Theater

Comedia Performance is the peer-reviewed journal of the Association for Hispanic Classical Theater. It studies the Spanish comedia and other early modern Hispanic theater from the stage: how these plays were performed then, how they are performed now, and what happens to them in translation, in a corral, in a rehearsal room.

That focus is what sets it apart. The journal publishes work on historical and modern staging, on translating the comedia for performance, and on questions of genre, space and reception as they bear on production. It also welcomes the material history of performance: who was in the audience, how a corral was built, how a company dressed, blocked and lit a play. It does not publish purely text-based literary studies.
