Theatre and Travel: Tours of the South – by Susan Kattwinkel

Theatre and Travel: Tours of the South  by Susan Kattwinkel

Presents rare information on traveling circus, minstrel, opera, and Toby shows.

This collection of essays explores an understudied but pervasive aspect of American theatre: theatre on the road, from minstrel shows and Toby shows to contemporary African American theatre, 19th-century circus rail travel, and small-town opera houses.

The challenges in gathering and compiling data on these ephemeral productions, from such far-flung sources as railroad schedules and weather reports, minutes from town council meetings, and accounts of error-prone theatrical productions, make this a truly valuable study.
