“Theatre has always been a significant part of the American entertainment industry,” Davis said. “However, theatre in the colonial period struggled as a result of several factors. We’ll discuss apprehensions over the moral allegations of both acting in and viewing plays. Did you know there were even laws passed to forbid productions? Join us to learn more about why shows and plays were discouraged and discounted as ‘extravagant diversions.’”
