Synopsis: This introduction to queer theatre and performance in the United States explores the pioneering artists that have shaped this ever-changing field across the past two centuries, through ten key moments and movements.Designed for weekly use in queer and LGBTQ+ theatre courses, the ten chosen milestones move chronologically from nineteenth century shifts in the understanding of homosexuality through the queer postmodernist avant-garde to the rise of intersectionality and recognition of trans identities. This clear, dynamic framework uses ‘queer’ as a flexible and intersectional term, addressing sexualities and sexual identities, the people and groups who claim them, and the practices that challenge heteronormative structures.Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political, and artistic development of foundational subject areas.
