Religion and Theatre

For more information about the Religion and Theatre focus group, click here to send an e-mail to the focus group leadership.

The Religion and Theatre Focus Group is an active forum for scholars and artists engaging with the discourses surrounding performative practices of spiritual belief. We advocate for serious and creative inquiry into points of intersection between religion/spirituality and theatre/performance. We challenge preconceptions about the place of belief in theatre and performance studies, and champion uncensored, critical discussion of religion in the public sphere.

Membership in the Religion and Theatre Focus Group is open to all ATHE members.
