theaters opened in new places that previously had no form of theater

and actors begin tours around the United States

(rejected the “rules” of Neoclassical theater)

Type Two:

strings of the audience by pitting good characters against bad characters – heroes against villains.

• Full of over-the-top, dramatic expression; reintroduction of stock characters.

Romanticism in Theater

Type Three:

Well-Made Plays• Structure builds to a climax through a development

of plot events that take place logically in a cause and-effect fashion
