	Theater in the United States Summary
		Theater of the United States is based in the Western tradition, mostly borrowed from the performance styles prevalent in Europe.
		Regional or resident theatres in the United States are professional theatre companies outside of New York City that produce their own seasons.
		Their organization established systemized booking networks throughout the United States and created a monopoly that controlled every aspect of contracts and bookings until the late 1910s when the Shubert brothers broke their stranglehold on the industry.

	Regional theatre in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regional theatres (also called resident theatres) in the United States are professional theatre companies that produce their own seasons.
		LORT theatres are non-profit organizations and agree to use special contracts made in agreement with the Actors' Equity Association, the professional organization and labor union for actors working in the United States.
		Many resident theatres operate two stages: a main stage for shows requiring larger sets or cast, and a second stage (often a studio theatre or fl box theater) for more experimental or avante-garde productions.

	Minor History
		As the oldest theatre in the United States built for feature films, the Minor Theatre passed from an era of silent movies into "talkies," from the golden age of Hollywood and the Depression into the era of drive-ins, art houses and mega-plexes.
		By the end of November, however, work on the theatre was completed, and a grand opening was announced for the evening of December 2nd (then moved to December 3rd to accommodate some last-minute work).
		Theatre musicians of the day accompanied the movies, and were sent "cue sheets" by film companies telling them when to play such embellishments as "dramatic hurry," "war scene" or "gallop." However, the musicians had to improvise segues and other accompaniments while watching the screen and cue sheet simultaneously.

	Steve Newman’s View on History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		For the United States this was all a bit new, this idea of putting one’s toe in the water of capitalism and finding it warm enough to swim, of realising that by so doing one’s influence in the world increased.
		And the imports from the United States were not only those displayed on the shelves of stores, but within British industry itself, with an ever spiralling amount of imported heavy industrial plant, especially in the machine tool, carpet weaving, and electrical engineering industries.
		One of the great similarities between Britain and the United States, in terms of urbanization, is the death rate of the urban population, which invariably exceeded the birth rate, creating a population that “..did not grow naturally…” but relied on an ever growing immigrant population looking for work.

	Theatre in the United States - Cambridge University Press
		Volume 1, 1750–1915: Theatre in the Colonies and the United States
		This is the first of two volumes of documents which describe the growth and development of theatre in the United States.
		With such an abundance of primary documents to consult, the editors have focused on three specific ‘tensions’ which have created and sustained American theatre: commercial versus artistic values; urban versus regional theatre; and the controversy over what is American and what is ‘foreign’ or imported.

	The Federal Theatre Project
		First, that unemployed theatre professionals want to work; and that, at the same time, millions of American citizens will enjoy the results of this work if productions are offered at a price they can afford to pay.
		The Federal Theatre of the Air is a branch in which we are sincerely interested not only because it is a remarkable medium for returning our people to private industry, but also because it is a new theatre in the making of which we can have a part.
		It is an amazing fact that of the 25,000,000 people who have witnessed Federal Theatre productions to date, sixty-five per cent indicate on their questionnaires that they have never before seen a play with living actors, but that having started, they intend to continue to go to plays.

		With 2.5 million people seeing outdoor theatre every year, Equity News asked the actors, stage managers and directors of many outdoor theatres who work under Equity contracts to talk about the challenges and joys of producing theatre under the open sky.
		For most creators of outdoor theatre, the greatest joy is the feeling of community that seems to always be a part of producing theatre alfresco.
		Outdoor theatre’s greatest asset (and as we’ll see, its greatest challenge), is its setting and the opportunity to paint with a larger brush, to work on a grander scale.
