What's in a name? Theatre Survey is not a survey of theatre. It is not a survey of theatre history. It is not even a survey of theatre historiography (although I confess that, at times, I wish it were). On the eve of the fiftieth-anniversary celebration of the American Society for Theatre Research and of forty-seven years of publication of its journal, we might pause to ponder just what it is that distinguishes Theatre Survey. Since a journal is what it does, one need not change its name, the better to reflect how a historiographical project has changed and matured: as long as we keep reflecting.
