  • Performance Areas For Liturgical Dramas
    1,351 words
    Grant Kohler 1. The Roman Catholic Church is important in the history of theatre for many reasons. First, church services were beginning to be more theatrical and performances would be staged in the churches. Secondly, the stories from the Bible were the material that the plays of this time were based on, liturgical drama. The churches would later aid in the organization of these dramas outside of the actual churches. Thus, without the Roman Catholic Church, theatre history may have been differe...

In the West this style of building occasionally p...

  • Elmer Gantry
    1,392 words
    Lincoln Anderson. Elmer Gantry is the story of a smooth talking evangelist named, oddly enough, Elmer Gantry.

The book is set primarily in a series of towns and cities of the Midwest (with a couple short exceptions, as several of the main character's jobs entail some degree of nationwide travel), and takes place in the decades from the beginning o...
