American theater
US dramatic arts
American theater encompasses stage performance traditions developed in the United States, from Broadway musicals to regional repertory companies.
The term often implies a distinctly American style—big, commercial productions like Oklahoma! or Death of a Salesman—though it covers everything from experimental off-Broadway work to community playhouses.
