Beskrivning
Examines Cornerstone and community-based theater in the United States. Now in paperback, ""Staging America: Cornerstone and Community-Based Theater"" details how one theater company's performance-making process has contributed to an ongoing negotiation of American identity. Sonja Kuftinec investigates community-based theater to trace the historical affiliations of the form and critically examines how community-based theater both enables and challenges the very notion of ""community"" as a fixed entity. ""Staging America"" received an honorable mention for the 2003 Barnard Hewitt Award for the best book in theater history.
