Directing Puppet Theatre Step by Step

In addition to the text, there are numerous photos & diagrams throughout the book.

This may well be the definitive book on the art of directing puppet theater. Both authors are teachers and professional puppeteers and emphasize the importance of a trained director to ensure a successful puppet theater play. They describe the types of puppets, how to choose a script, how to write dialogue, how to design the stage, and how to choose a cast. Many helpful illustrations and diagrams enhance the book. A complete production book for a puppet version of Cinderella is also included, a plus. This book should prove valuable for amateur and professional puppet groups. Recommended for public and school libraries and university theater arts collections.
