Abstract
Originating from an ACA-sponsored symposium at the 1983 Southeastern Theatre Conference Convention, this piece addresses how theatre faculty workload should account for performance and production assignments. The symposium introduction identifies the discussion as an effort to document common practices among theatre programs at Southeastern colleges and universities. The published contributions focus on directing, design, technical supervision, practicum instruction, and summer production work as forms of teaching, research, creative activity, and university service. Particular attention is given to the need for academic administrators to recognize theatre production as part of faculty workload rather than as uncompensated service. The piece also describes strategies for assigning course credit to student production work, documenting the labor and research involved in theatrical production, and calculating workload equivalents during regular academic terms and summer sessions. Together, the contributions provide practical perspectives on faculty evaluation, workload policy, and production-based teaching in theatre education.
