Staging America

Description:

"Staging America: Cornerstone and Community-Based Theater by Sonja Kuftinec maps a history and theory of community-based theater in the United States through the Cornerstone Theater Company, detailing how the performance-making process contributes to an ongoing negotiation of American identity. Assisted by twenty-one illustrations, this is the first in-depth investigation of community-based theater that traces historical affiliations connected with the form while critically examining how community-based theater both enables community and challenges the very notion of "community" as a stable site."--Jacket.
