UIowa's Theatre Arts Journal

The Theatre Arts Journal at the University of Iowa was started by myself (Rebecca Weaver) and fellow dramaturg (Margaret Smith) because we wanted an outlet to write about things happening in the department, the university, and the greater field of theatre. Below are editions of the journal that I have curated, written, and edited while at UIowa.

November 2024 - 3rd Issue

This issue focuses on Roots—the roots of theatre, roots of language, roots of political & social change, where we come from, how our roots have influenced our lives, and where they may take us. A major impact on this edition was the 2024 presidential election—calling for even more action from theatre artists and the brave spaces we curate and inhabit.
