American Society for Theatre Research

American Society for Theatre Research, founded in 1956 ‘to serve the needs of theatre historians in the practice of their profession, and to foster the increase of knowledge of the theatre in America’. Unlike most national theatre societies, it is concerned not only with American theatre but with all aspects of theatre studies. It holds an annual meeting in New York, and publishes an occasional newsletter and an annual volume of essays, Theatre Survey.
