Call for Papers - Theatre Symposium

CALL FOR PAPERS

THE SOUTHEASTERN THEATRE CONFERENCE
THEATRE SYMPOSIUM 2007
MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA
APRIL 20-22, 2007

COMEDY TONIGHT!

With a clear understanding that the quickest way to kill a joke is to
analyze it, we announce the following Call for Papers. Comedy necessarily
holds the range of human experience up for criticism, and as such, the
humanity of the theatrical experience provides perhaps the best forum for
the social correction implicit in most examples of the genre. Theatre
Symposium 2007 will explore comedy as practiced on stage-covering the wealth
of periods, locales, and styles-with the goal of deepening our understanding
of the possibilities of the genre through scholarly (born of critical and
practical insights) discourse. One-page paper abstracts for the 2007
Symposium may be sent to
