Wisconsin Plays Second Series Original One-Act Plays From the Repertory of the Wisconsin Dramatic Society is a compelling anthology that showcases the creative output of the regional American theater movement during the early 20th century. This collection features four distinct one-act plays written by members of the Wisconsin Dramatic Society: The Feast of the Holy Innocents by S. Marshall Ilsley, On the Pier by Laura Sherry, The Shadow by Howard Mumford Jones, and We Live Again by Thornton Gilman.
These works reflect the Society's commitment to developing a native American drama that explores human emotions, social dynamics, and regional life with sincerity and artistic depth. Each play offers a unique perspective, ranging from poignant character studies to tense dramatic encounters, highlighting the versatility of the one-act form. As a historical record of the Little Theatre Movement, this volume captures the spirit of innovation and community-driven storytelling that helped shape the landscape of modern American drama. Readers and theater enthusiasts will find in these pages a rich tapestry of early modernist theatrical expression that remains a testament to the enduring power of regional voices in literature.
