This edited volume applies rhetorical methodologies to dramatic literature and performative text, exploring a wide range of themes, including musical theater, revivals, children’s theater, disabilities, democracy, architecture, space, theosophy, and interfaith communication.
Casting the Art of Rhetoric with Theater and Drama: Taking Center Stage explores rhetoric and theater as they relate to one another, developing the understanding of rhetoric as theory and praxis. This book addresses rhetorical themes and cultural resonances, as well as the oft overlooked symbiosis of rhetoric and theater. Rather than addressing audiences as either observers of rhetorical artifacts or theatrical performance, this work demonstrates the intersection of the two, which strengthens theatrical events and their cultural significance. Overall, the volume showcases the many ways in which an understanding of the relationship between rhetorical and poetic theories can benefit dramatic convention and the breaking thereof.

Adrienne E. Hacker Daniels is professor emerita at Illinois College.
