Theater History & Nostalgia
The first forms of social entertainment in pioneer communities were small gatherings -- the telling of a story, playing of a music or other simple performances.
The experience of going to the theater is uniquely generational. Adults only need to compare today's theater experience to their first one to realize how dramatic the change has been. The histories in this section are bound to stir up fond memories, or leave you wanting to know more.
