Editorial Style and Branding Guidelines

2020

Introduction The Yale School of Drama/Yale Repertory Theatre Editorial Style and Branding Guide is published to help faculty, staff, students, and interns present ideas and information clearly and consistently in their professional writing, editing, and other communications.

The Style and Branding Guide refers to the organization’s guidelines for consistency in how words, phrases, typographical elements, institutional preferences and idiosyncrasies are to be used—and not used.

The Style and Branding Guide is an evolving document. New situations, new words, and new kinds of communication will continue to inform what we say and how we say it.

The latest version of the Editorial Style and Branding Guide is always available at ysdinfo.yale.edu.

Introduction AUTHORITIES Consult the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, our first reference for spelling and hyphenation. Online: merriamwebster.com; a mobile app is also available.

About Yale School of Drama INSTITUTIONAL BOILERPLATE (2019–20) Yale School of Drama and Yale Repertory Theatre train and advance leaders to raise the standards of global professional practice in every theatrical discipline, pursuing excellence in art to promote wonder, empathy, and understanding in the world.

The application of theory to professional practice is a central tenet of training at the School of Drama, enhanced in scope by the integration of the School with Yale Repertory Theatre in a relationship analogous to that of a medical school and a teaching hospital.

Together, our students, faculty, staff, and guest artists form a richly collaborative community reflecting the extraordinary breadth of contemporary society, aesthetics, and theatre experience.

Yale Rep has produced well over 100 premieres, including two Pulitzer Prize winners and four other nominated finalists, since 1966. Seventeen Yale Rep productions have advanced to Broadway, garnering more than 40 Tony Award nominations and 11 Tony Awards including one for Outstanding Regional Theatre. Yale’s Binger Center for New Theatre is an artist-driven initiative that devotes major resources to the commissioning, development, and production of new plays and musicals. Since 2008, the Binger Center has supported the work of more than 60 commissioned artists and underwritten the world premieres and subsequent productions of 35 new plays and musicals at Yale Rep and theatres across the country—including this season’s Girls by Branden JacobsJenkins, The Plot by Will Eno, Manahatta by Mary Kathryn Nagle, and Testmatch by Kate Attwell.

Notes on Commissioning Plays are commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre:

• The Yale-commissioned Indecent…

• The paragraph continues: “…the theatre has produced well over 100 premieres.”

Incorrect uses of colon: A colon is not normally used after “namely,” “for example,” and similar expressions. Nor is it used before a series introduced by a verb or a preposition.

Semicolons replace commas in lists when the individual items in the list contain substantial internal punctuation:

• The membership of the international

• Having arrived late for practice, the team captain required a written excuse.

This latter sentence could be rewritten as such to avoid semicolons:

• Among his favorite plays, he lists A Streetcar

Named Desire, King Lear, and Ah, Wilderness!.

Check that each clause refers to the appropriate subject:

• The experiment was a failure, not having studied the lab manual carefully.

Use a comma when introducing a quotation, unless the introduction ends with a conjunction:

• Dean James Bundy said, “It was a terrific performance.”

• Dean James Bundy said that “it was a terrific performance.”

Dangling Modifiers Every sentence must have an explicit subject:

• Having arrived late for practice, a written excuse was required.

• Not having studied the manual carefully, they failed the experiment.

Look for misplaced modifiers within clauses:

• I saw the trailer peeking through the window.

• While peeking through the window, I saw the trailer.
