George Woodyard: The Legacy of a Scholar

Abstract

George Woodyard was exceedingly modest about his achievements. In fact, he was so modest that most of us were unaware of the number and range of his publications and editorial activities. We decided to publish a listing of his accomplishments in this special issue as a way of recognizing them publicly and also of providing bibliographical information to those scholars who share George’s passion for everything related to Latin American theatre. As far as we know, the last time that George updated his Curriculum Vitae was in January 2008. We have done our best to include activities and publications from the last years of George’s remarkably productive life and apologize for any omissions. For narrative accounts of George’s life and achievements, see: Vicky Unruh, “A Virtuoso Performance: George Woodyard and Latin American Theatre,” Latin American Theatre Review 30.2 (1997): 7-16, and the “Auto-Archive” that George prepared for Theatre Journal 56.3 (2004): 547-51.
