Theatre Journals, Magazines, & Other Resources
Theatre Topics - The first theatre publication devoted to issues of concern to practitioners, Theatre Topics focuses on performance studies, dramaturgy, and theatre pedagogy. Concise and timely articles on a broad array of practical, performance-oriented subjects, with special attention to topics of current interest to the profession, keep readers informed of the latest developments on the stage and in the classroom. The journal's audience includes scholars and students of theatre, educators, members of theatre associations, actors, directors, playwrights, designers, and theatre enthusiasts. Library Journal's Bill Katz hailed Theatre Topics as "an excellent addition to the literature of drama."  Check out Professor Rich Brown's article published in Theatre Topics, May 2005: Moisés Kaufman: The Copulation of Form and Content.

Theatre Magazine – Yale School of Drama
Theater magazine is an indispensable publication for anyone seriously concerned with the art of theater in the world today. It is consistently illuminating, provocative, informative, and challenging; many of the artists whose work I have come to treasure I first learned about by reading Theater, and I have stolen many of my best ideas from its pages.  — Tony Kushner

Technical Brief – Yale School of Drama
Technical Brief is an indispensable publication for technical managers in theater. Written by professionals for professionals, its purpose is simple: communication. Technical Brief provides a dialogue between technical practitioners from the several performing arts who all share similar problems: "Make it fly! Make it roll! Make it disappear! Make it tomorrow!"  Let's stop reinventing the wheel. Our articles are succinct and complete with mechanical drawings. Individually, they represent the best solutions to technical problems. Combined, they serve as an ever-growing reference library, easy to read and well indexed.
