INTRODUCTION
Although the title of this volume of Theatre Symposium is "Theatre in the Antebellum South," the call for papers encouraged articles on any topic relating to American theatre before the Civil War. As a result, when twenty-three scholars gathered on the campus of the College of Charleston on 27 and 28 March 1993, they were treated to papers on a wide variety of subjects. The symposium itself focused on the Charleston Theatre riot of 12 March 1817, with five experts responding to a packet of primary material related to this riot. Their presentations, as well as the discussion that followed, are printed here as Part I. Thereafter, thirteen other papers were presented, from which the Editorial Board has selected six for publication here as Part II. Although all have at least some connection with the antebellum South (and most specifically cite events in Charleston), several are general in scope, and one focuses primarily on French-speaking Canada.
