| 520 | _a"The Mormons and the Theatre; or, The History of Theatricals in Utah" by John S. Lindsay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the unique relationship between Mormon culture and theatrical practices, particularly in Utah, highlighting the early prominence of theatre within a religious community usually characterized by conservative values. It delves into how figures like Brigham Young facilitated and promoted theatrical entertainment among Mormons, presenting a narrative of religious life intertwined with the performing arts. The beginning of the book establishes the groundwork for an exploration of Mormon theatre, opening with a description of their enthusiasm for dancing and plays, which contrasts sharply with the practices of many other Christian denominations. It highlights key moments and figures, such as Brigham Young’s personal involvement in dance and theatre that helped foster this culture. The narrative unfolds with anecdotes of Thomas A. Lyne, an actor who became converted to Mormonism and played a significant role in early theatrical productions. Through these accounts, Lindsay sets the stage for a deeper examination of how theatrical expression evolved within the Mormon community and the sociocultural significance it held in their society.
