"A superb tribute to theatrical pioneers--"The Gay and Lesbian
Theatrical Legacy" is required reading for both theatre scholars
and gay/lesbian/bisexual history aficionados. A fascinating journey
awaits them all in this highly recommended volume." --"Broadside:
Newsletter of the Theatre Library Association""" "The Gay and
Lesbian Theatrical Legacy "collects in a single volume biographies
of more than one hundred notable figures whose careers flourished
in the years before the 1969 Stonewall Riots marked the beginning
of the gay and lesbian civil rights movement in the United States.
The leading lights in American theater have included innumerable
individuals whose sexualities have deviated from prevailing norms,
but this history has until recently been largely unwritten and
unknown. This book contributes" "significantly to the recovery of
this history, fashioning a much fuller, more nuanced portrait of
American theater as it evolved and shedding light on the influence
that sexual desire may have had on professional choices,
relationships, and artistic achievements. "The Gay and Lesbian
Theatrical Legacy "collects biographies and portraits of
influential actors, playwrights, composers, directors, designers,
dancers, producers, managers, critics, choreographers, and
technicians who made their mark on the American theater. Its broad
coverage provides an extended glimpse into lives and careers that
intersected and into networks of affiliation that made theatrical
history and, by extension, social and cultural history. The late
Billy J. Harbin was Professor of Theater, Louisiana State
University. Kim Marra is Associate Professor of Theater, University
of Iowa. Robert A. Schanke is Professorof Theater Emeritus, Central
College, Pella, Iowa.
