"This excellent work fills a gap while also taking the opportunity to expand America to include all of North America....An excellent introduction and far-ranging coverage."--Library Journal
"A remarkable contribution to theater history scholarship in the Western hemisphere....Should become a standard reference for students and scholars of American theater history."--Theatre History Studies
"The theaters of the indigenous cultures of North American and Canada are usually overlooked in most books about performance in the Americas. Londré and Watermeier are the first to write a comprehensive history of North American theater."--The New York Times
"[A] boldly comprehensive book...the kind of book that every scholar with an interest in theatre of North America will want to own....Its whole-continent approach and pre-historic beginning point are revolutionary...this is the book which puts us at last onto a new footing....The book gets to the reader the old-fashioned way--we are shamed (or perhaps dazzled) into political and intellectual humility as an indirect result of the authors' learning, skill, relentless research, and knowledge of languages. [The book] has the power to reshape the very definition of American theater."--Theater Survey
