regional theaters
Hometown stage companies
Regional theaters are professional theater companies operating outside major commercial centers like New York or London's West End.
They produce plays and musicals for local audiences, often premiering new works before they move to Broadway.
The regional theater movement, which flourished in the mid-twentieth century, decentralized American theater and created training grounds for actors, directors, and playwrights: She got her start in regional theater before moving to film.
