Theaters (Norton/Library of Congress Visual Sourcebooks in Architecture, Design and Engineering) Book

A richly illustrated history of American theaters from the eighteenth-century opera house to the modern movie multiplex. A theater is a revered cultural artifact and a technological challenge. This visual sourcebook traces its colorful and varied forms as they developed in early America, on the western frontier, and in cities from coast to coast. The first comprehensive study of American theaters, it illustrates their wide range from raucous music halls to vaudeville, from circus to grand opera, from World's Fair to Coney Island, from nickelodeon to glorious picture palace. Also featured are theaters for burlesque, theaters afloat, military theaters, Shakespearean theaters, summer theaters, theaters and African Americans, and arenas (when a stage just won't do), enlivened by a cast of entrepreneurs and showmen who were the movers and shakers of our theatrical heritage. 1200 illustrations; CD-ROM included.Read More
