Developments in Theatrical Circles Good for 1925
Walter D. Hickman notes two major moves shaping 1925 the merger of Shubert interests at the Murat with English's and the construction of the Zaring community theater in the north city. He argues the Zaring's modern, successful theater signals growth beyond downtown, while the Shubert-English merger consolidates resources for broader Indianapolis stage expansion. The trend, he says, points to more community theaters and stronger regional theatre in 1926.
