About the Author
William Ball (1931-1991) founded San Francisco s renowned American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) in 1965 and was its general director for many years. Beginning in the theatre as a designer, he turned to acting and appeared with regional companies and Shakespeare festivals across the country. He made his New York directorial debut with an Off Broadway production of Chekhov s Ivanov which won the Obie and Vernon Rice Drama Desk Awards for 1958. He subsequently directed at Houston s Alley Theatre; San Francisco s Actor s Workshop; Washington, D.C. s Arena Stage; San Diego s Old Globe Theatre; and staged several New York City Opera productions. His 1959 Off Broadway production of Under Milk Wood won both the Lola D Annunzio and the Outer Circle Critics Awards, and in 1962 his Six Characters in Search of an Author proved another multiple award winner and had an extended New York run. After directing at Canada s Stratford Festival, Ball returned to New York to write the libretto, with composer Lee Hoiby for an opera, Natalya Petrovna, based on A Month in the Country. In 1964 he directed Tartuffe and Homage to Shakespeare at Lincoln Center and then traveled to London to recreate his staging of Six Characters.
Ball has been the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship, a Ford Foundation directorial grant, and an NBC RCA director s fellowship. Of his many productions for A.C.T., three were also directed for PBS television, includingThe Taming of the Shrew, for which he was nominated by the Television Critics Circle as best director of the year. In June 1979, Mr. Ball accepted the Antoinette Perry ( Tony ) Award voted to A.C.T. for its outstanding work in repertory performance and advanced theatre training. In the same year, Carnegie Mellon University presented him with an honorary degree as Doctor of Fine Arts. He was active as a teacher and director in ACT s training program.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
