Once a year the association meets in person. Academic panels for current research, roundtables and workshops where scholars and practitioners talk to each other, and staged readings and performances that keep the comedia where it belongs, on a stage.
The scope is deliberately broad: the comedia in performance, but also adaptation, translation, pedagogy and the material history of the theater. Presenters must be members of the AHCT.
AHCT Virtual Symposium 2027
Charlas con Artists
Live conversations with artists and specialists of the Spanish Golden Age, streamed on the AHCT YouTube channel in collaboration with Siglo Latinx.
Past conferences
Every symposium from 2000 to 2025, year by year.
Affiliated conferences
Sessions the AHCT sponsors at the conferences of other learned societies, starting with the Renaissance Society of America.
Academic panels
Current research on the comedia, presented and discussed by the people doing it.
Roundtables and workshops
Where the scholars and the practitioners argue with each other, which is usually the useful part.
Readings and performances
Staged readings and full performances, because a play that is only read is only half a play.
