Prompt: A Journal of Theatre Theory, Practice, and Teaching
Visit Prompt
Prompt, a journal of theatre theory, practice, and teaching, aims to connect theatre practice to theatre scholarship—through pedagogy. Founded in 2020 by colleagues at The Pennsylvania State University School of Theatre, the goal of each issue is to teach something in the field of theatre and performance studies using a humble technology; accompanying short essays reflect on an idea that sparks a scholar’s interest. Prompt is a generative space where theatre artists, educators, and scholars converge to exchange ideas that prompt new thoughts and practices.
