Theatre as Social Force by Elmer Rice at Bowdoin Institute
Elmer Rice argues theatre is a social force by its collaborative nature and public reception. He contrasts American theatre’s lack of unified style with Russia’s centralized system and Moscow Art Theatre, urging stronger theatre organization and training for writers to suit audiences and producers.
