Art Teatral was founded in Valencia in 1987. This journal focuses its attention on short theater, which has produced veritable dramatic masterpieces through the time. It has as main aim to promote the diffusion of contemporary dramatic authors by means of publication of their short plays, whose knowledge provides an overview of modern theatrical writing. On average, this journal publishes ten short dramatic illustrated plays in each issue. Every issue includes, moreover, an updated bibliography of all participant authors and half a dozen of essays about the importance of brief genres in theater history and in each author´s theatrical work. Art Teatral has an anthological collectable nature. So far, general issues, monographic issues about Valencian and other Autonomous Regions, and about French, Italian, Portuguese, American and Latin American dramatists, have been published: 200 short plays altogether, including monologues, and a fair amount of essays. The journal was founded and edited by Eduardo Quiles.
