This era is marked by the rise of influential playwrights like Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, who explored complex themes and characters. Theatres became vibrant spaces for social commentary and artistic expression. During this time, productions often featured elaborate sets and strong performances, attracting diverse audiences. The emergence of Broadway as a cultural hub also contributed to the popularity of musicals, with shows like West Side Story and The King and I becoming iconic. This period laid the foundation for modern American theatre.
