Question

I need a topic to discuss about in America History. It can be about anything. I choose theatre? But what in American History involves theatre. Something interesting. A cause and effect type thing?? maybe somethning like that. If you cant think of anything from the above. Can you please give me a few ideas.

Answer 1

Photography, Ansel Adams

Answer 2

Painters of the early west, portrait artists who painted the presidents...who they are, how selected etc. or just write about John Singer Sargent.

If you like controversy write about Black Face Minstrel Shows and the evolution of race consciousness in American Theatre.

Answer 3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crucibl...

Arthur Miller , playwright, was questioned by the House committee on un-american activities.... similar to the witch hunt depicted in his play, The Crucible.

This is a good example of how art can reflect back onto society- to shine light on irrational government.  Someone should write a play about the Patriot act.
