In this book, Arvid F. Sponberg provides a view of what some of the
most important people in the commercial theater think about the
state of their business. With one exception, none of those
interviewed has ever before had an extended opportunity to discuss,
for the record, the nature of their work. The volume treats the
reader to a comprehensive view of American commercial theater and
how it operates. It documents the thoughts of twenty people who are
currently making their living in the commercial theater, exploring
aspects of their work usually ignored by the media. Those
interviewed made comments on four broad topics: their personal
background and key experiences in the theater; their views on the
present state of financing, production, writing, casting, directing
and designing; their insights into day-to-day theatrical
management; and their opinions on proposed changes in theatrical
practices. Their words show that it has taken enormous amounts of
talent and work to preserve commercial theater from destruction by
internal and external economic forces and political neglect. This
book will surely receive wide acclaim from all scholars of drama
and theater, all members of the theatrical professions, and
especially playgoers and lovers of theater.
