- 3rd Edition
A book that doesn't cost a lot
A book that is fun to read
A book that helps them understand and enjoy theatre
An insider's look at theatre, not a scholar's critique of it
An opportunity to learn about plays on a stage rather than plays on a page
Pictures that illustrate the ideas in the text instead of just decorating it
Instructors will appreciate the Third Edition's modularity. Each chapter stands on its own, allowing for maximum flexibility for individual course needs. The book's inclusive approach touches on cultural diversity and gender issues in American theatre, as well as adding an entirely new chapter on Asian theatre. Photos of contemporary productions enrich the text, and a variety of side material shows students how the concepts they read about are applied by theatre professionals.
Not-for-sale instructor resource material available to college and university faculty only; contact publisher directly.

Review
"This is a remarkable textbook. It is lively in every aspect the writing, illustrations, and overall point of view are colorful, accessible, and richly informative. The authors bring a wealth of professional, practical stage experience to the task of introducing today's student to the magic, power, and purpose of the theatre. I have used this text since the first edition was published; the latest edition has many improvements. New sections on Asian Theatre and tips on internet use are most welcome but my favorite additions are the end of chapter 'Theatre War Stories,' where the authors provide fascinating firsthand accounts of actual production experiences." --Leslie Reidel, University of Delaware
"This is a perfect text for my course. I really like the fact that it discusses theatre from a point of view that both majors and nonmajors can grasp." --Rebekkah Meixner, Indiana University, Southeast
