作为孤岛剧坛的中流砥柱和战后上海的剧运中坚,上海剧艺社在存续时间、剧目数量、演出场次、艺术品格、社会影响等方面,堪称上海剧运的一面旗帜;同时,它在某种意义上也是中国现代话剧运动具体而微的表征,理应在话剧史上占有独特地位。
As the mainstay of theaters in Shanghai Island and the backbone of post-war theater move- ment, the Shanghai Theater Art Society could be called the banner of Shanghai' s theater in presence time, number of plays and performances, artistic character, and social impact. At the same time, Shang- hai Theater Art Society was, in a sense, a small but specific characterization of Chinese modern drama movement, and therefore should occupy a unique position in the history of drama.
