1920s American theatre

The 1920s was a vibrant decade for American theatre, marked by the rise of Broadway as a cultural hub. This era saw the emergence of jazz-infused musicals and the popularity of shows like "Ragtime" and "Show Boat," which blended innovative music with compelling narratives. The decade also featured the influence of the Harlem Renaissance, bringing diverse voices into mainstream theatre. The shift from silent films to talkies later in the decade changed entertainment dynamics, though live theatre continued to thrive, fostering creativity and reflecting societal changes during the Roaring Twenties.
