Circle stock theater was based on the repertory companies that began to tour America after the Civil War; unlike their repertory brethren, circle stock troupes toured a regular circuit, usually consisting of six small towns situated roughly in a circle around a base community where the performers lived. Through interviews, written reminiscences of veteran circle stock performers, and extensive research, the history of this unique slice of Americana is here presented for the first time.

The forty years 1880 to 1920 marked the golden age of the American theatre as a national institution, a time when actors moved from being players outside the boundaries of respectable society to being significant figures in the social landscape. As the only book that provides an overview of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century theatre, Actors and American Culture is also the only study of the legitimate stage that overtly attempts to connect actors and their work to the wider aspects of American life.
