PAJ 138 Final Issue Available Now: https://direct.mit.edu/pajj/issue/46/3%20(138)

Dear Readers:

After more than four decades since founding PAJ, I have decided to end my editorship of the journal, which will cease publication with this issue. As I write in the editorial, “working with many of the great theatre and literary minds, experiencing the work of the most influential contemporary artists, helping writers to establish an individual voice, and simply having the great good fortune of a public forum, the opportunity of editing the journal has given me a life of tremendous joy and enrichment.” It is my wish that you find in the pages of this issue new ways of writing and thinking, alongside the personal dimensions of many of our long-time contributors, that offer pieces from the heart.

Our book division will continue to be active, with nearly fifty titles still in print. It is my pleasure to announce that we have secured the rights to publish the long out-of-print classic, "The Antitheatrical Prejudice," by Jonas Barish, for release in November. A major step forward of the press is the recent acquisition of the PAJ Publications Archive and my Personal Papers by the Yale University Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, opening to researchers in early 2025.

Elsewhere in my editorial, I reflect: “The journal began with a strong desire to engage the developing new forms of theatre, performance and video art, dance, and music outside the mainstream. It is gratifying to know that over the decades the ecology of this community has evolved in its pages to contribute to the ongoing writing and documentation of theatre and performance histories. Editing PAJ has been a wonderful conservationist endeavor."
