Born James Morrison Steele MacKaye in Buffalo, New York, he grew to become a seminal influence in shaping the American stage during the late 19th century. His vast experiences in Europe, where he studied under the tutelage of Francois Delsarte, and his interactions with luminaries like Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, enriched his dramatic outlook.
