Restoration

4meter4, I think that the "Restoration" in the Cambridge Guide to American Theatre quote is the Stuart Restoration as suggested by WAVY 10 Fan, rather than the Restoration Movement of the 19th century. I think this is implied by the mention of Elizabethan earlier in the quote. The "convention of boys playing girls" ended when actresses were employed, see Restoration comedy#First actresses.

TSventon Thanks for this. It was on my to do list today to raise this at WikiProject Theatre. As you could tell from the article history, I kept going back and forth on it and wasn't particularly confident. I think you have correctly interpreted the quote.
