The AHCT has brought together scholars, theater practitioners, teachers and enthusiasts of the Spanish comedia since 1984. Membership is open to university faculty, to undergraduate and graduate students, and to anyone with a professional or personal interest in what the association does.
It costs between 55 and 120 dollars depending on who you are and how long you sign up for, and you can be a member five minutes from now.
Comedia Performance
The association peer-reviewed journal, published by Penn State University Press, comes with your membership.
A place on the program
Presenters at the annual symposium must be members of the AHCT. Membership is what lets you submit a paper or a session.
The prizes and the Hesse Grant
Our prizes for scholarship, translation, pedagogy and production are open to members. The Hesse Grant goes to a graduate student, and brings a year of membership with it.
A voice in the association
One vote on every matter put to the members, the right to nominate officers and to stand for office yourself.
The members portal
Your account and your profile, and the directory of everyone who currently belongs, with their institutions.
The people
This is the part nobody puts in a budget line. Colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic who read, stage, translate and teach the same plays, and who meet once a year to argue about them in person. Most of what the AHCT is worth happens in those conversations.
The annual symposium, the journal, the prizes and the grant, and the archive that goes back to 1984. They also pay for everything this site gives away: the digital play texts, the lesson plans, the play summaries, the image archives and the essays, free to anyone who wants them, member or not. Dues are what keeps that open.
- Pick the rate that fits you and press Join.
- Fill in your name, your institution and your email, and pay by card.
- That is it. The members portal opens straight away, and your name joins the member directory. If you would rather your email stayed out of the directory, that is the default: you decide in your profile.
