"First Theater in America" by Charles P. Daly is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work investigates the origins of drama in the United States, particularly focusing on the establishment of theaters and performances in the colonial period. It discusses significant figures and events, aiming to unravel the often-misunderstood timeline of theatrical developments in early America. The opening of this work presents Daly's introduction to the topic, detailing his initial research that sparked his inquiry into the history of theater in America. He recounts an early debate about the introduction of drama, acknowledging the contributions of notable figures like William Hallam, who is often credited with leading the first theatrical company to America. As Daly dives into archival newspaper references from the colonial period, he begins to illuminate evidence of theatrical performances that predate Hallam's arrival. Throughout this opening section, Daly lays the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of the dramatic arts’ evolution in America, setting up a detailed chronicle of significant events, plays, and individuals involved in the establishment of the American stage.
