Most American plays of the 18th and 19th centuries strongly reflected British influence.In fact,no New York City theater season presented more American plays than British plays until 1910.The reasons behind this phenomenon are complex,but a common language and the ready availability of British plays and British actors offer the most obvious explanation.
Although the British repertory dominated the American stage for so long,American drama had begun to diverge from British drama by the time of Andrew Jackson鈥檚 presidency,from 1828 to 1836.British plays,which typically reflected the attitudes and manners of the upper classes,were by then in conflict with more egalitarian American values.Despite this growing divergence,British actors,theater managers,and plays continued to cross the Atlantic Ocean with regularity,and most American plays copied British models until the early 20th century.For this reason some critics claim that American drama was not born until the end of World War I (1914-1918).
By the end of the 19th century American drama was moving steadily toward realism,illuminating the rough or seamy side of life and creating more believable characters.Realism remained the dominant trend of the 20th century in both comedies and tragedies.American drama achieved international recognition with the psychological realism of plays by Eugene O鈥橬eill and their searing investigation of characters鈥 inner lives.As the century advanced,the number of topics considered suitable for drama broadened to encompass race,gender,sexuality,and death.
The 1990s saw the return of exciting domestic drama by two celebrated playwrights whom critics thought had finished their careers:Arthur Miller (Broken Glass,1994) and Edward Albee (Three Tall Women,1994).Both plays received widespread popular and critical acclaim,with Albee鈥檚 work capturing the Pulitzer Prize.
Younger established playwrights continued to challenge audiences,often in small or regional theaters.Mamet鈥檚 Oleanna (1992) investigated sexual harassment.Overmyer鈥檚 Dark Rapture (1992) combined crime,greed,and sex in the style of motion-picture thrillers.Wilson鈥檚 Two Trains Running (1990) revisited the black experience in 1960s America,while Seven Guitars (1995) did the same for the 1940s,King Hedley II (1999) for the 1980s,and Gem of the Ocean (2003) for the first decade of the 20th century.Wasserstein鈥檚 An American Daughter (1997) looked at gender politics in Washington,D.C.Sondheim鈥檚 musicals became darker,tackling topics such as presidential assassination (Assassins,1990) and out-of-control love and guilt (Passion,1994).
Another important young playwright of this period was Tony Kushner.His Angels in America was one of the most successful dramatic events of the 1990s.The two-part story chronicled the effects of the AIDS epidemic on the lives of eight characters over a six-year period.The two plays,Millennium Approaches (1991) and Perestroika (1993),each won a Tony Award for best drama.Kushner was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Angels in America in 1993.
In the mid-1990s and the beginning of the 21st century,revivals of older plays and blockbuster musicals dominated new commercial theater in the United States.Beginning in 1996 with the success of Jonathan Larson鈥檚 Rent,many contemporary plays and musicals began to target younger audiences that had been wooed away from the theater by film,television,and computer entertainment.A musical inspired by Puccini鈥檚 1896 opera La Boh猫me,Rent examines the experiences of disillusioned young Americans looking for meaning in their lives.The theater lost a bright young voice when Larson died suddenly just before the debut of his play,which went on to win the Pulitzer Prize.
The large-scale musical also returned to prominence during the 1990s,especially with a 1997 Broadway version of Disney鈥檚 film The Lion King.The hit animated movie was imaginatively recreated for the stage with puppetry by director-designer Julie Taymor.Elton John and Tim Rice,who wrote the music for The Lion King,also teamed on Aida (2000),a successful musical based on the 1871 opera of the same name by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi.

As the 21st century began,the direction of American drama prompted troubling questions.Economic difficulties at regional and experimental theaters resulted in plays with a single setting and no more than two or three characters,making them less expensive to produce but also less ambitious.The aging of American theater audiences and competition from other forms of entertainment also threatened drama鈥檚 future.Theaters were rejecting many large-scale plays as too risky and unlikely to cover production expenses.Consequently,crowd-pleasing musicals and revivals dominated Broadway.
Almost all nonmusical plays today originate in regional theaters.The expense of touring productions means that most new plays reach a geographically diverse audience only if they are adapted to motion pictures or television.Many playwrights write with film or television adaptation in mind,a tendency encouraged by the fact that motion-picture studios own many theaters and dramatic production companies.
Although experimentation and poignant subject matter continue to appear in the dramatic world,many playwrights worry that American theater has become too conservative in its mainstream work and too specialized in its alternative productions.A major issue going forward is whether the theater of the 21st century will provide enough opportunity for original work and strong new dramatic voices.

The Hollywood Reporter has an article today that both breaks my heart and makes me ecstatic for the next television season. The article, citing lots of anonymous sources, lists shows that are "on the bubble" for next season -- meaning renewal is not certain--and predicts their likelihood of renewal.
Interestingly (and tragically), The CW's Reaper appears to be on the chopping block. Tonight's ratings for Reaper could tip the balance, as a new episode goes up against a new episode of Lost. While many critics think Reaper has lost its way since the pilot, I think it's been pretty much on track. We even got a new story line during the last episode where Sam meets a new love interest, aka the devil's daughter. The dialogue is clever, the lead actor is lovable, and his sidekicks are, well, a kick. Although, if I didn't have a way to record both shows, I would probably choose Lost over Reaper tonight.
