Neuware - 'Footlights Across America' offers a comprehensive and foundational study of the non-commercial theater movement that swept across the United States in the early twentieth century. Written by influential theater critic and producer Kenneth Macgowan, the work explores the vibrant emergence of 'Little Theatres,' community playhouses, and university drama departments as vital alternatives to the commercial dominance of Broadway. Macgowan provides an in-depth survey of how regional theater became a cornerstone of American cultural life, fostering local talent and experimental storytelling.
