Recalling actress Jane Ellis’ early desire for a venue where she might play decent roles, as well as her efforts to make it happen, the book also celebrates a galaxy of stars who have acted there, including Flora Robson, John Giel

In the early 1920s, five opulent theaters--the Allen, the Ohio, the State, the Palace, and the Hanna--opened on a stretch of Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. They offered legitimate theater, vaudeville, name bands and entertainers, and films for the affluent and hardworking citizens of this booming industrial city. Unfortunately, the introduction of television and the flight to the suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s turned the theaters into ghost palaces destined for the wrecking ball. In 1970, a bold group of planners led by Raymond K. Shepardson formed the Playhouse Square Association, a nonprofit gr

Philip Henslowe’s Rose was Elizabethan London’s first south bank playhouse. Its tenants were a succession of companies of high prestige: Lord Strange’s Men, the Queen’s Men, the Admiral’s Men. Its repertoire was stocked with plays that audiences clamored for--Henry VI, Sir John Oldcastle --and classics that they paid to see again and again--The Spanish Tragedy, The Jew of Malta, Doctor Faustus. For a decade, the Rose dominated the bankside until, in 1599, a rival appeared--the Globe. By 1606 the Rose was in ruins. This book uses first-hand sources to compile a bio

In many parts of the country, spacious sheds are being fully appointed with furnishings an
