AbstractThis thesis gives the history of the German theater in Milwaukee in two chronological parts: 1850-1868 and 1868-1875. The division was made because at 1868 the German theater was given a permanent home and financial support; thereafter the financial success of the theater was assured and more attention placed on the artistic aspect. For each historical era of the German theater, the author gives an account of the "external" history, including the main theater, secondary theater, visiting stars, and attitude of critics. This is followed in both sections by a literary review. Most of the sources for this information are German newspapers published in Milwaukee during the time of the German theater.
