The Director's Voice, Vol.2 (Paperback)

Paperback. Directors today are equipped with a larger toolbox than their forerunners, standing on their shoulders as well as those of pioneers in non-Western theater, experimental visual art, community-based theater, and the ever-evolving commercial theater scene. Jason LoewithThis second volume presents a cross-section of the most diverse and dynamic stage directors defining todays American theater, in conversation with director/producer Jason Loewith. A follow-up to the immensely popular first volume, which has sold over eighteen thousand copies, much has changed in the twenty years since The Directors Voice debuted. The nonprofit model has been turned on its head, Loewith notes. Institution-building is out for these directors; creating a distinctive voice from a multiplicity of influences is in.
