Ch9 Contemporary Theatre and Its Diversity
LOGO
The years since the late 1960s have been
noteworthy for challenging dominant cultural
standards and demanding the diversity of
American society not only be acknowledged but
also accepted and celebrated.
Efforts have been made to open mainstream
theatres to plays about groups (African
American, Asian American, Latino or Hispanic
American, Native American, women, gays and
lesbians, and others) previously marginalized or
ignored and also to establish theatres to give
these groups their own voice.
