The wide-ranging topics in the book examine all aspects of theatre, including its creation and reception, and provide the reader with an interdisciplinary understanding of how the establishment and growth of regional theatres reflected local economic and social developments. Jeffrey Ullom teaches theatre history and dramaturgy at Case Western Reserve University, USA, and serves as Director of Undergraduate Studies for the department. His research interests have focused on contemporary American theatre, especially new play development in the regional theatre circuit and on Broadway. Previous publications include The Humana Festival: A History of New Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville (2008), and America’s First Regional Theatre (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014). . 0aTheater.966691 0aTheaterxHistory.966689 0aAmericaxLiteratures.96679914aNational and Regional Theatre and Performance.98434424aTheatre History.96669324aContemporary Theatre and Performance.24aNorth American Literature.9668002 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303171954708iPrinted edition:z978303171956108iPrinted edition:z9783031719578 0aPalgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History,x2947-577598687840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-71955-4  aZDB-2-LCM  aZDB-2-SXL  c64635d64635
