Kerri Allen:
When Yun-Cheol Kim invited me to speak on New Theatricality in Criticism in the United States, I was honored if not a bit overwhelmed. I do not have a doctorate in dramaturgy and I am the author of not a single book. And as you may know, I am the youngest invited speaker at this Congress.

In the interest of full disclosure, I was born in 1979. I�m sure many of you were already chief critics or full professors by that time.
