Theatre Communications Group (TCG) has announced the official launch of AmericanTheatre.org, the new online home of American Theatre magazine. Accessible across all online platforms, AmericanTheatre.org will deliver up-to-the minute news, in-depth features, stunning visuals, exclusive podcasts and videos, and artists' commentary and opinions: http://www.americantheatre.org.

"Since 1984, American Theatre magazine has published thousands of articles and over 150 full-length plays in its role as the nation's only general-circulation magazine devoted to theatre," said Teresa Eyring, executive director, TCG. "With the launch of AmericanTheatre.org, that tradition of in-depth journalism will reach an even wider readership with daily features and expanded coverage of our field. We're especially pleased to launch this new website with our 'Season Preview' issue and the annual American Theatre Top 10 Most-Produced Plays list, which always inspires a rich conversation about what stories are thriving-and what voices might be missing-on our stages."

For more information on the new AmericanTheatre.org, check out: http://www.americantheatre.org.

AmericanTheatre.org launches with the "Season Preview" October issue, featuring the seasons of participating TCG Member Theatres and the American Theatre Top 10 Most-Produced Plays: http://americantheatre.org/2014/09/top-10-plays-2014-2015/

For the first time ever, American Theatre is also releasing the Top 20 Most-Produced Playwrights: http://americantheatre.org/2014/09/top-20-most-produced-playwrights-2014-2015/

Based on the 2014-15 seasons reported by TCG's Member Theatres in Theatre Profiles, both lists omit holiday-themed shows (such as The Santaland Diaries and A Christmas Carol) as well as works by Shakespeare, who would have won by a landslide with 77 plays produced this year.

The issue also features stories on recent initiatives for achieving gender parity and racial equity on our stages. The world of theatrical design is explored through articles on costume designer Ana Kuzmanic, set designer Mimi Lien and sound designer John Zalewski.
