Lecture -- How Theatres Were Born: Origin Stories



Via Zoom: In the 20th century, theatres bloomed throughout the English-speaking world, from the sleepy town of Stratford, Ontario to the bustling metropolis of London, England, from the Lower East Side to the Southbank.  All came about because of the vision, the passion, and the herculean efforts of single individuals.  And not one of them was who you think they were.  A black-listed B-movie actor from Hollywood, an overweight also-ran in the 1950s London theatre world, a part-time journalist just home from World War II, a poor kid from the Bronx who’d just come out of the Navy, and a man trying to find newer, better ways to sell beer!  Each, against all odds, changed the theatre and changed the world.
