I don't think it lives up to its title at all. It principally only covers theater in Salt Lake City to about 1880 and doesn't cover any Mormon-themed works at all, and is only about "Mormons" because most of those in Salt Lake at the time were Mormon. Although I haven't read the whole thing, my overview leads me to think that there is very little value in it, unless you are interested in the 1855-1880 period. So, I'm pessimistic about its prospects, unless someone can persuade me otherwise after reading it. I dunno, Th. I don’t think it lives up to its title at all.

That's awesome that a production of Richard III raised money for proselyting. Fascinating, Kent.
