Explanation: The Hallam family is one of the earliest English acting companies on record in colonial America. William Hallam found opportunity in colonial America after 10 years of managing an unlicensed theatre in London. He engaged the services of Robert Upton to investigate theatrical conditions and opportunities in the Americas but he disappeared once he crossed the Atlantic ocean.
After Upton's disappearance, William hired 10 actors and sent them to the colonies under the supervision of his brother, Lewis Hallam. The acting troupe landed in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1752 and the first play they performed was William Shakespeares Merchant of Venice in Williamsburg, Virginia.
