ATCA conferences past

The 2011 ATCA Weekend Meeting (aka “Mini-Meeting”) was in New York City, Feb. 4-6Here’s the registration form.


2010 Annual Conference, July 14-18, Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, Waterford, Conn.

ATCA went back to its 1974 birthplace, “America’s premiere theater laboratory.” The O’Neill is a template for developmental programs for new plays, musicals and critics, with a rich roster of playwrights of national significance.

The conference included a side bus trip up the Connecticut River valley to the delicious Goodspeed Opera House (worth an article) for a revival of “Carnival!”

Our mornings were at the Radisson, starting with breakfast buffets and including ATCA meetings, panels, discussions and a Perspectives in Criticism. A panel on the new media was be at Monte Cristo, the O’Neill family cottage, famous from his plays (also worth an article). At the O’Neill, there was a panel of theater pros telling us what they think of theater criticism…
