The SAA theatre history seminar for 2019 will be scheduled sometime between 17-20 April 2019 in Washington, DC. Details can be found on the SAA website, http://www.shakespeareassociation.org/. 5PP: Players, Playwrights, Playhouses, Plays, and Parishes Alan H. Nelson (University of California, Berkeley) Early Modern playhouses were built in parishes; playhouse owners, players, and playwrights often served as parish officers. Printers resided in parishes, usually in or near their shops. Records of Early English Drama (REED) has shown that parishes produced, consumed, and opposed plays and players. This seminar invites papers on parishes as sites of theatrical activity. Especially welcome will be papers citing parish documents: registers, churchwarden's accounts, vestry books etc.
