Biographical History
The Drama League of America was founded in Chicago in 1910 to stimulate interest in and support drama. In 1929 it affiliated with two other groups to form the Church and Drama League. The merger was never officially carried out and in 1931 the Drama League of America ceased operations.
The Drama League of America (DLA) was founded in Chicago in 1910 in order to stimulate interest in drama and to support “worthy” plays. In 1915, the DLA began to establish chapters around the country, and by 1926 there were 37 such local centers. The League was re-organized in 1925, and an executive secretary was hired to run the organization. The following year the Church and Drama Association (CDA) was founded to promote drama as a social force and educational influence. In 1929 the DLA, CDA, and the American Theatre Association affiliated to form the Church and Drama League. However, the merger was never officially carried out, and the church group ceased to function in 1931.
