{"product_id":"theatre-symposium-v17","title":"Theatre Symposium, V17","description":"Outdoor drama takes many forms: ancient Greek theatre, open-air performances of Shakespeare at summer festivals, and re-enactments of landmark historical events. The essays gathered in 'Outdoor Performance,' Volume 17 of the annual journal Theatre Symposium, address outdoor theatre's many manifestations, including the historical and non-traditional. Among other subjects, these essays explore the rise of 'airdomes' as performance spaces in the American Midwest in the first half of the 20th century; the civic-religious pageants staged by certain Mormon congregations; Wheels-A-Rolling, and other railroad themed pageants; first-hand accounts of the innovative Hunter Hills theatre program in Tennessee; the role of traditional outdoor historical drama, particularly the long-running performances of Paul Green's The Lost Colony; and the rise of the part dance, part sport, part performance phenomenon 'parkour'-- the improvised traversal of obstacles found in both urban and rural landscapes.","brand":"The University of Alabama Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55319101800792,"sku":"9780817355555","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780817355555.jpg?v=1777975243","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/theatre-symposium-v17","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
