Introduction

Keeping pace with the ever developing theater arts, research in theater studies today often integrates literature, music, dance, and visual art, as well as anthropology, sociology, multi-media, and other disciplines.

Journal of Theater Studies, launched in 2007 under the auspices of National Science Council, has since established itself as an international platform for the exchange of ideas concerning various aspects of theater arts. Now an official publication sponsored by the Department of Drama and Theatre of National Taiwan University, JTS will strive to maintain its high level of academic standard by seeking contributions from interested scholars both at home and abroad.
