History edit
The journal was established in 1949 as the Educational Theatre Journal and obtained its current name in 1979.[3] The American Educational Theatre Association intended the journal to serve the field of educational theatre and drama in a manner similar to how the Quarterly Journal of Speech and Publications of the Modern Language Association of America served the fields of speech and modern languages respectively.[4] The founding editor-in-chief was Barnard Hewitt (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign). Other past editors include Oscar Brockett, James S. Moy, Sue-Ellen Case, Enoch Brater, William B. Worthen, Janelle Reinelt, Loren Kruger, David McDonald, Susan Bennett, David Román, Harry Elam, Jean Graham-Jones, Penny Farfan, Ric Knowles, Joanne Tompkins, and Jennifer Parker-Starbuck.[5]
