Lindsey Mantoan, associate professor and the Ronni Lacroute Chair in Theatre Arts, won the 2024 Excellence in Editing Award from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education. Mantoan was honored along with her co-editors for the book, “Troubling Traditions: Canonicity, Performance, and Theater in the US.”
According to the award committee, “Troubling Traditions” is “timely, urgent, and quite comprehensive in its approach.” Specifically noted was “the opportunity to reflect on the ethics of what we teach, how we teach, and what we are teaching toward. This book will be an essential collection for teachers and students in coming years.”
In addition to teaching a variety of courses at Linfield, Mantoan directs musicals, plays and readings; is a contributor to CNN.com; and is an intimacy director. She is currently co-editing two new anthologies of trans plays and directing “The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical” at Linfield in April 2025.
