Abstract: Theatre criticism in the Global North currently finds itself at a pivotal point, as the internet eclipses legacy media as the central space for critical discourse and as ongoing antiracist and anticolonial activism highlights the underrepresentation of BIPOC artists across the theatre industry. Within this context, stakeholders in the theatre community, recognizing the importance of a vibrant critical discourse, are faced with finding more sustainable and equitable models. This article considers the future of theatre reviewing through a case study of Taking on the World (TotW), a mentorship program for emerging BIPOC critics run in conjunction with Toronto's Soulpepper Theatre Company and Intermission magazine. TotW participants' innovative critical practice demonstrates that de-hierarchizing theatre criticism necessitates reimagining the form, and specifically centering conversation as a key quality of process and product. Exploiting the capabilities of the digital, TotW participants embed conversation within their work and model a mode of criticism that challenges traditional notions of expertise and is ultimately more inclusive. Applying recent scholarship on theatre criticism to examples of work produced in the program and participant interviews, this article advances new ways of practicing and teaching theatre criticism at this crucial moment.

Abstract: As a dauntless practitioner of exulansis , I write this Note from the Field in an attempt to unlearn my practice of keeping silent about the challenges of moving across borders. It is based on a survey I did about the challenges and issues (e.g., securing visas and funds) that Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) scholars/researchers sadly encounter when they decide to participate in US conferences. While offering specific action items to the ATHE organizing committee, I remind my fellow MENA colleagues who have experienced disconnect that their sadness should prompt a vivid upsurge of collective attention to the countless possibilities we organizers and participants still have for cosmopolitan friendship while taking joy and grief all in, at once, from afar.

Abstract: Since the word "theme" consistently warrants redefinition, it fails to find felicitous, longstanding meaning in theatre pedagogy. In response, I have found that asking students to identify a play's "topics," "questions," and "arguments" instead of its "themes" has saved a great deal of teaching time and student confusion—confusion that the word "theme" inevitably carries with it. Through this change, not only have my students found a much deeper engagement with the assigned plays, but the quality of the dramaturgical and practical work they produce in response to their script analyses is at a much higher level than before.

Abstract: This Note from the Field uses the travel metaphor and inquiry format of Elinor Fuchs's well-known pedagogical essay, "EF's Visit to a Small Planet: Some Questions to Ask a Play," to pose questions about a related object of dramatic analysis: the familiar world in which you live. The questions posed in this Note invite readers to imagine their regional, institutional, and local world as a social text that is worth reading before (or alongside) selecting plays for a theatrical season. It is the interplay between familiar and distant planets that can yield, as so many socially engaged artists and educators have found, meaningful choices of plays for local audiences.
