Colonial Flutes
http://www.apsva.us/Page/6516
By the colonial period, there were several theaters in
America, particularly in the southern colonies.
An evening at a colonial theater lasted five to six hours.
An evening usually involved a play, dancing, music, and
other performances, such as juggling.
The plays and actors who performed in the colonies
were largely from Europe. The works of William
Shakespeare were very popular.
In some colonies, playacting was not allowed. In
these places, it was considered bad by the church,
possibly because it took peoples time away from their
work at hand.
