Improving Secondary Theatre Education, Besty Mashburn Oct 1987

Improving Secondary Theatre Education, Besty Mashburn

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the challenges secondary students face when transitioning into college and university theatre programs, despite having production experience. Many schools in the Southeast lack dedicated drama teachers, and in some cases, theatre responsibilities are assigned to instructors with little or no background in the field. The discussion emphasizes the need for every high school to have trained drama educators, supported by stronger certification requirements and accreditation standards. It suggests that colleges and universities should advocate for drama courses in secondary curricula, improve preparation of student teachers, and establish mentorship programs linking college faculty and students with high school …

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article recounts an attempt to integrate a professional theatre company within a university department at SUNY Stony Brook, describing the experiment as ultimately unsuccessful. Conceived with strong administrative support and ambitious goals, the initiative sought to model professional theatre standards while supporting academic programs, including a new MFA in Dramaturgy. Despite initial enthusiasm and financial backing, the project struggled with governance issues, faculty conflicts, reliance on student labor, and incompatibility between state administrative systems and professional theatre requirements. Tensions arose over artistic priorities, resource allocation, and the exploitation of students, while financial deficits and political fallout damaged departmental stability. …

Using Students In The Theatre, Philip G. Hill

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the ethical challenges of involving students in theatre production, distinguishing between educational use and potential exploitation. It highlights how the demand for high-quality productions may tempt directors to prioritize product over process, sometimes at the expense of student learning. Issues such as typecasting, assigning menial tasks, and pressuring students into roles that conflict with personal beliefs or health are analyzed as potential forms of misuse. The discussion also addresses requests for student labor from outside groups, raising concerns about exploitation when no compensation or clear educational benefit is provided. The article concludes by proposing guiding principles: prioritizing …

Theatre In Its Own Right, David L. Jorns Aug 1987

Theatre In Its Own Right, David L. Jorns

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers the place of theatre as a recognized academic discipline and explores pathways for its future development.

The discussion highlights the importance of improving secondary theatre education, since university programs rely on strong foundations at that level. It also argues that university theatre should embrace professional standards by staffing programs with active practitioners, integrating faculty performances, and fostering repertory-style models.

The Communication Arts And Sciences: Together Again? Well, It All Depends, J. Robert Wills Aug 1987

The Communication Arts And Sciences: Together Again? Well, It All Depends, J. Robert Wills

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers the administrative organization of communication arts and sciences in higher education, noting that approaches vary widely across campuses. It emphasizes that no single model is universally correct; rather, structures should be shaped by institutional mission, levels of specialization, program size, and campus culture. Examples illustrate that theatre, for instance, may be housed in English, communication, fine arts, or as a stand-alone program, with each arrangement carrying historical precedent and local justification. The discussion argues against imposing a national norm, urging instead that institutions regularly examine their organizational choices. While structure can influence outcomes, program excellence depends more …

The Future Of Organizational Communication: An Outline Of Postmodernism, Phillip Tompkins Aug 1987

The Future Of Organizational Communication: An Outline Of Postmodernism, Phillip Tompkins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article outlines the past, present, and possible future trajectories of organizational communication, emphasizing the shift from modernist approaches toward postmodern alternatives. The field’s history is traced through three eras—preparation, consolidation, and maturity—culminating in recent developments that challenge the dominance of prediction, control, and managerial perspectives. Emerging orientations, including naturalistic and critical approaches, have expanded the scope of inquiry by highlighting social construction, culture, symbolism, and emancipatory goals. Concerns are raised about uncritical pro-management biases, the overuse of psychological models, and the risks of excessive vocationalism that could narrow the discipline’s academic role. In response, the article advocates for interdependent …
