Crash Course Theater #8: Death and Resurrection of Theater as Liturgical Drama

Curated by ACT

As the Roman Empire fell, so did the theater. If there's anyone who hates theater and actors more than Romans, it's early Christians. As Christianity ascended in the west, theater declined. But, fear not. This isn't the end of the series. The theater would be back, and in the best subversive theater-y fashion, it would return via the Catholic mass!
