The book traces the development of the community theatre movement, from its inception in Europe by Andrea Antonine, through its formative period during the Twenties in the United States, and finally, the first time, a comprehensive account of amateur dramatics in the Alamo City, from humble beginnings in 1912 to an impressive building program by "a non-professional theatre with professional standards" of the Sixties.
