An Introduction to the Art of Theatre--Student Text: A Comprehensive Text -- Past, Present, and Future

i have been teaching theatre for 42 years and this book is a good standby....not the best. needs more photos and covers some info that is irrelevant......

I teach the history of theater and this is a great book to add to my arsenal. Informative and easy easy easy to understand! The author explains this in the beginning of the book: it's written in normal common language. No confusing textbook jargon from a stuck-up. The only thing it lacks are interesting photos of, for example, period costumes, equipment, etc. There are some line drawings, but photos (even simple black and white) from stage plays would be icing on the cake. That's the only fault I find. Still, a great book: 4 out of 5 stars!

This was a good deal and arrived as described.

Great book to help students better understand the theatre and the details involved in putting together a production

My packs of theatre books arrived right on time, and I love how both of them were fresh out of the packet. Thank you.
