II. Theatre and Drama in Ancient Greece
The Greeks' history began around 700 B.C. with festivals honoring their many gods. One god, Dionysus , was honored with an unusual festival called the City Dionysia. The revelry-filled festival was led by drunken men dressed up in rough goat skins (because goats were thought sexually potent) who would sing and play in choruses to welcome Dionysus. Tribes competed against one another in performances, and the best show would have the honor of winning the contest. Of the four festivals in Athens (each reflecting seasonal changes), plays were only presented at one festival City Dionysia. Historians believe that the Greeks patterned their celebrations after the traditional Egyptian pageants honoring Osiris. At the early Greek festivals, the actors, directors, and dramatists were all the same person. Later, only three actors could be used in each play. After some time, non-speaking roles were allowed to perform on-stage. Because of the limited number of actors allowed on-stage, the chorus evolved into a very active part of Greek theatre. Though the number of people in the chorus is not clear, the chorus was given as many as one-half the total lines of the play. Music was often played during the chorus' delivery of its lines.

  • Home Theatre Info History The Ironwood Theatre was built as a vaudeville/silent movie palace in 1928 under the direction of Architect Albert Nelson at a cost of $160,000. Under the leadership of A.L. Pikar, the theatre became the center of entertainment in the Ironwood area. The Hollywood Golden Age of the 30,s, 40s and 50s followed the Great Depression. In the 60s, the Ironwood Theatre was sold to Thomas Theatres of Iron Mountain. The theatre operated as a first run movie house until it's closing in 1982. In 1982, owner Thomas Renn gave the Ironwood Theatre to the City of Ironwood through the Downtown Ironwood Development Authority (DIDA). Restoration efforts began at that time under the direction of the newly formed Ironwood Theatre Preservation Committee. On January 11, 1985, the Ironwood Theatre was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

History
People artistically change the world
By Bruce Parrish, Historian and Anthony Holloway, Board of Governors Emeritus
Did you know that a handful of people could change the world by creating a place of hard work, dedication, and artistic beauty? That is precisely what happened in 1923. A women's club met and discussed creating a group to perform some amateur theatricals. They wanted the opportunity to display their talents and the skills they had learned elsewhere. Now eighty-one years later, Community Players continues in that tradition by developing six theatrical productions this year.
Community Players has several distinctions. It is one of the oldest community theatres completely staffed by volunteers. Community Players has been able to present many shows shortly after their Broadway run and, on many occasions, presented the first amateur production of these shows in the United States. Many students from Illinois Wesleyan University and Illinois State University supplemented their education by working on shows at Community Players. The theatre has provided opportunities for anyone from McLean County and the surrounding communities to display their talents in plays, musicals, and children's productions. Moreover, from time to time, the amateur experience has encouraged someone to attempt a theatrical career by either returning to school or auditioning for theatres in Chicago, St. Louis or other cities.

from humble beginnings
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival traces its roots back to the Chautauqua movement, which brought culture and entertainment to rural areas of the country in the late 19th century. Ashland's first Chautauqua building — erected in 1893, mostly by townspeople — saw its first performance on July 5. In 1905, the building was enlarged to accommodate an audience of 1,500. Families traveled from all over Southern Oregon and Northern California to see such performers as John Phillip Sousa and William Jennings Bryan during the Ashland Chautauqua's 10-day seasons. In 1917 a round, dome-covered structure was erected in the place of the original Chautauqua building. The structure fell into disuse, however, when the Chautauqua movement died out in the early 1920s. The dome was torn down in 1933, but the cement walls remain standing today; covered with ivy, they surround the Elizabethan Stage. Angus L. Bowmer, an enthusiastic young teacher from Southern Oregon Normal School (now Southern Oregon University), was struck by the resemblance between the Chautauqua walls and some sketches he had seen of Elizabethan theatres. He proposed producing a "festival" of two plays within the walls, in conjunction with the City of Ashland's Fourth of July celebration. The City cautiously advanced Bowmer a sum "not to exceed $400" for the project. SERA (State Emergency Relief Administration) funds provided a construction crew to build the stage and improve the grounds.

Originally a 1500 seat venue, the Hollywood theatre has experienced many transformations during the last 76 years. The Hollywood was the last venue in Portland built both as a vaudeville house and as a movie theatre, and the first film show was the silent picture More PayLess Work , by producer Peter B. Keyne. General admission was just 25 cents and children's tickets were only a dime. For Portland's big spenders, loge seating was available for 40 cents. Because sound did not come to the big screen until well in 1927, there was an eight-piece orchestra and an organist to accompany the silent films, and a variety of live acts filled out the evening's entertainment. In the 1950's the Hollywood was transformed into the first Cinerama theatre in the Pacific Northwest. This ultra-wide screen film format required the addition of two projection booths and a huge wrap-around screen. After the novelty of Cinerama had dissipated and more cost effective wide screen formats were developed, more changes occurred. In 1975 walls were installed in the Theatre's balcony, and projection booths were installed to create three separate auditorium spaces. The Theatre currently includes a 468-seat main auditorium (the original orchestra), a 180-seat venue (one-half of the original balcony), and a 190-seat venue (the other half of the original balcony. All three venues are capable of screening films. Now
In 1997, Film Action Oregon (FAO) recognized the opportunity to preserve an important part of Oregon's cultural history by purchasing the Hollywood Theatre. FAO quickly realized the Theatre's essential role in the surrounding Northeast Portland community. In the fall of 1997, Film Action Oregon's small staff began to transform the neglected second-run theatre into the thriving community treasure it once was.

is often credited as being the first to incorporate songs as part of the action. This style was continued by Kern, Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, and most fully realized in 1927 in Showboat , the first show in which songs were written to match the story line, rather than the other way around.
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, the theatre community rallied. Irving Berlin wrote Yip, Yip, Yaphank Ziegfield Follies of 1917 was so popular that the French government reportedly commissioned pictures of the leading actress, Kay Laurell, to help recruit soldiers. Broadway stars organized food drives, promoted Liberty Bonds on stage and even volunteered on a seventeen-city tour, raising well over half a million dollars for the Red Cross.

The Rocky Hock Playhouse is a live, indoor, year round, Christian Musical Theatre operate by the Emmerich Theatre Production Company in the town of Edenton
http://www.rockyhockplayhouse.com/theatre_history.html
The Rocky Hock Playhouse doors opened in Edenton, North Carolina in 2000. However, the theatre's roots go back to 1997. In the summer of that year Jeffrey and Gloria Emmerich were invited to Nags Head, NC to put together a summer stock pilot theatre. They ended up taking nearly 40 students to North Carolina’s Outer Banks from North Central University in Minneapolis, MN where they were professors of theatre, music, and communications. In Nags Head the cast performed such musicals as Under His Wings, The Fantasticks and Anne of Green Gables
The Emmerichs worked out of a temporary theatre on the Outer Banks again during the summer of 1998 but it was soon apparent that they needed to find a more permanent location. It was their desire to stay in the general area since the location was good. Patrons were coming regularly from the Hampton Roads area, (Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Newport News, Williamsburg, Hampton, VA, etc.), as well as from as far away as Richmond, VA (near Washington D.C.), Raleigh and Greenville, NC, and Myrtle Beach and Charleston, SC. They began phoning county government offices in various small towns across NE North Carolina to get an idea of who might be interested in helping them move the theatre operation to their community. It seemed that everywhere they called people were saying, “Go to Edenton!”
While visiting Edenton, which is on the Albemarle Sound in Chowan County and about 60 miles due west of Kitty Hawk, NC, the Emmerichs arranged to meet with various government officials, assistants, school principals, Edenton and Chowan County Chamber of Commerce representatives, and local leaders. The reception was overwhelmingly positive. It turned out that many people from Chowan County had been to the Outer Banks to see

The New Candlelight Theatre - Our History
Once upon a time, around 75 years ago, an old barn in Ardentown, Delaware was reborn as a theatre. Throughout the Depression and WW II years it was the site of many entertainments and a popular summer stock venue called The Robin Hood Theatre. Its stage was graced by many who would become America's stars of film, television and musical theatre. After a time, the lights dimmed at the old barn and most assumed that it had outlived its days of glory. Then, in the grand tradition of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, a trio of visionaries decided to put on a show at the old barn. A lot of shows. In 1969, without much cash, but with many hopes and dreams, John and Lena O'Toole and the late Julian Borris, transformed the old barn into Delaware's first dinner theatre. With the words, “Playgoers, I bid you welcome,” Julian Borris opened Candlelight's first show, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," and ushered in a new era of theatre that continues to the present. For over 30 years, Candlelight Music Dinner Theatre has presented an average of five major productions annually and nurtured the talents of many, including Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman, film star Bruce Willis, Broadway musical star Diane Fratantoni and many others.

15. The Kingsport Theatre Guild
The Kingsport Theatre Guild is dedicated to providing quality live dramatic performances in Kingsport, Tennessee.

History of the Kingsport Theatre Guild The Kingsport Theatre Guild, Inc., is one of the oldest community theaters in the state, this year embarking on its 58th year of continuous operation.
J. Fred Johnson, one of the city founders, may have been Kingsport’s first prominent thespian. He appeared in a 1920 theatrical production titled “Everybody’s Husband” for the benefit of a future public library. It wasn’t until 1947, however, that an official community theater was formed and Kingsport Theatre Guild presented its first formal offering, “Yes and No.”
Through the years the Kingsport Theatre Guild has performed in a variety of venues, including a barn on Eden’s Ridge, school auditoriums, church fellowship halls, a community center on Sullivan Street, a Fine Arts Center on Church Circle, and, currently, at the Renaissance Center.
J. Fred Johnson, one of the city founders, may have been Kingsport's first prominent thespian.
In 1992, KTG expanded its board of directors to include more community representatives and in 1993 hired its first staff person. Since that time, much has been accomplished. Growing audiences and increasing financial support from local businesses and individuals have enabled the Kingsport Theatre Guild to offer a year-round schedule of musicals, dramas, comedies and thrillers, as well as children’s theater produced specifically for school groups.
Volunteer performers and technicians work closely with theater professionals and staff to ensure high-quality productions, providing a valuable educational experience for all those who participate, whether as actors, musicians, crew, or technicians. KTG’s production of “Swingtime Canteen” was one of the highlights of Fun Fest ’00, as were Fun Fest 2002’s "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and '03's "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum".

About Us
History
Mull Theatre was founded in 1966. Established in a converted coach house in the grounds of a Free Church Manse, its performance space has retained an unique atmosphere. Its founders were Barrie and Marianne Hesketh (both subsequently awarded OBEs), two actors who had settled on Mull to bring up their family. They took their idea into the pages of the Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest theatre as they produced a regular season of plays, as well as mounting small-scale tours all over Britain and into Europe. Marianne died in 1984 and when Barrie left the island the subsequent year, the company was kept going, first by his son Nick, then by a dedicated board of local supporters who, under the direction of David Pitman, engaged a professional team for annual seasons of plays. Copies of Taking Off: The Story of Mull Little Theatre by Barrie Hesketh are available from Mull Theatre Jump to top

ELECTRIC LODGE HISTORY
The Electric Lodge…built in 1940; by the Masons…has remained the Masonic Lodge until this
incarnation began May 1996. Through the 5 challenging years of gestation, including an extensive
renovation, the Lodge has seen the likes of drama, yoga, dance (butoh and other), music,
photography, children's theater classes, the birth of a theater ensemble, staged readings, art exhibitions, environmental activism and more. Upstairs is a modular, "black box", full equity waiver theater, while the ground floor studio is an open space for classes and workshops. Both spaces are also designed for professional level (still and other) photographic shoots, as an exhibition venue for painters, sculptors and the like, as well as rehearsals of all sorts. The theater can also serve as a "low end" sound studio. In 1999, since completing the renovation, the Electric Lodge has been honored with "Earthbeat"

Is This Theater Haunted?
Mysterious noises, ghostly apparitions, and chilly corridors are just some of the hair-raising experiences that have been said to occur at the Mount Baker Theatre.
- The Bellingham Herald, Barrett, Eldon and Santarris, Ben. 1996.
Ruth Shaw, Theatre manager from 1984 to 1994, thinks that Judy is an invention. “Their theatrical imaginations, already fertile ground for ghost stories, were stirred by the sensations of a creaky, drafty old building with rich imagery painted and sculptures in the Theatres interior,” she says. “Faces of angels, nymphs, dragons, griffins, gargoyles, people, and animals populate the walls of the Theatre. From the lobby, an imaginative person looking into the orchestra pit can make out the shape of a coffin,” Shaw says. “Furthermore,” she added with a laugh, “every old theater has to have its resident ghost."
ARCHITECTURE
Mount Baker Theatre was the creation of a nationwide movement to construct formidable theater buildings in the hearts of American cities. Now, decades later, the few remaining giant palaces of another era are involved in a new movement, this time to preserve a wonderful heritage and to restore the structures for community use, performing arts, and entertainment centers. In 1978 the Mount Baker Theatre was placed on the National Historic Landmark Register. Through the cooperative efforts of the City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, the State of Washington, the citizen-based non-profit Mount Baker Theatre Center and numerous private donations, the historic landmark Mount Baker Theatre underwent extensive restoration and remodeling of the 1509-seat facility to assure a permanent and useful place in the cultural life of the community. It remains true to its heritage of stage presentations and community use events, and continues to be "The Showplace of Whatcom County."
