Second Call for Papers:
The Association for Hispanic Classical Theater 
Spanish Golden Age Theater Symposium
March 8-10, 2012, El Paso, TX.
Due date for submissions: December 1, 2011

The 2012 AHCT Spanish Golden Age Theater Symposium will take place March
8-10 in El Paso, 
Texas. These dates coincide with the 2012 Golden Age Spanish Theater
Festival at the Chamizal 
National Memorial Theater. Sessions will begin Thursday morning, March 8,
and end Saturday 
afternoon, March 10, 2012. The meeting of the officers of the AHCT will take
place Wednesday, 
March 7, 2012, from 9 am -12 noon, and the meeting of the Board of Directors
will take place 
that same day from 1:30-5:00 p.m.

Call for Papers. The Association for Hispanic Classical Theater particularly
encourages studies on 
all aspects of performance of Siglo de Oro dramatic texts, though proposals
for papers or special 
sessions at the annual symposium on other topics related to Spanish Golden
Age theater are 
welcome. Papers should be 20 minutes in length, and may be delivered in
Spanish or English. 
Those submitting proposals should include in their e-mail message any
special equipment needs 
they may have. Conference participants who will be using Power Point for
their presentations 
should plan on bringing their own laptops. College and university faculty
are asked to send paper 
titles with one-page abstracts and/or proposals for special sessions to:
abstracts at comedias.org. 
They should be submitted as attachments to the e-mail message in PDF format.
The deadline for 
receipt of all submissions is December 1, 2011. Graduate students who are
interested in 
participating in the conference are asked to submit completed papers of
approximately ten pages 
in Word, accompanied by a brief abstract in PDF format, to
gradsubmissions at comedias.org. This 
applies to all students, including those who have been invited to be members
of panels, whether 
organized by faculty members or others. Graduate students whose papers are
accepted for 
presentation will be considered for the AHCT Everett W. Hesse Travel Support
Grant. The deadline 
for the submission of completed papers is December 1, 2011. 

Events of Particular Interest at the 2012 Symposium. The plenary speaker at
the 2012 symposium 
will be the renowned Spanish-Argentine stage director and dramatist Gustavo
Tambascio. A 
specialist in directing opera and Spanish musical theater, Tambascio has
staged a great number 
of operas, zarzuelas, and original plays in Spain, Latin America, and
Europe. He has served as 
Coordinator of the National Center for Historic Music and the Performing
Arts, charged with 
reviving works from the Middle Ages to 1800. Tambascio’s vast repertoire
includes a number of 
works either from or inspired by the Spanish Golden Age, such as Lope’s La
discreta enamorada, 
Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Mauricio Sotelo’s Dulcinea, Dale Wasserman’s Man of
La Mancha, and 
Tomás Marco’s Segismundo. 
The plays to be performed at the Chamizal Golden Age Drama Festival, held in
conjunction with 
the annual symposium, will be announced on the AHCT website as soon as they
have been 
confirmed.
