Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise and influence of amateur theatrics and acting charades in 19th century America. The author takes the reader through the history of these amusements and analyzes the ways in which they influenced American culture as a whole. Along the way, the author discusses how this trend away from professional theater allowed women and working-class Americans to participate more fully in theater and public entertainment, fostering a greater sense of community. The author argues that while these parlor games appear trivial, they in fact played an important role in cultivating new avenues of cultural expression and participation and, therefore, are worthy of serious consideration and study. This book will appeal to readers interested in the development of both professional and amateur theater in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
