The American Actor Prepares: Scene-Study for Oblivion?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 January 2009

Abstract

Never mind the theory, face the facts: is there room in the American theatre for all the performers graduating as drama majors from American universities? Glenn Loney, who has himself been teaching drama since 1960 as well as writing widely on theatrical subjects, sketches in the background to the American system, looks at the limited horizons for the newly qualified actor, and suggests a shift in the aims and orientation of academic drama – and the expectations of those who pursue it.
