This special issue celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Theater by reflecting on the journal’s editorial accomplishments. With reflections from Tom Sellar, the current editor, and Gordon Rogoff, a founding editor, this anniversary edition honors Theater’s tradition of speculation on change an altered society. It includes a section of excerpts from its archives in which contributors offered a vision for the future. A photo dossier considers the art of photographing live performance and theater productions, and a forum of reflections from past editors considers how the journal has simultaneously served as a training organ for the emerging editors and writers who comprise the editorial staff.
