Draw back the curtain on the world of theatre and learn how the
magic of a great stage performance is created. Designed for theatre
appreciation students and written in an engaging style, this book
is an ideal introduction to all aspects of theatre.
Learn about the variety of ways professional actors approach their
roles. Meet the people you won't see during a performance but who
are essential in bringing a production to life: writers, directors,
set designers, tailors, carpenters, electricians, stagehands, light
and sound technicians, riggers, ushers, supervisors, and stage
managers. From casting to run-throughs to wardrobe, this book
includes interviews with those involved in the creation process
from beginning to end. Eye-opening details about acting techniques,
directing, and production design may inspire you to audition or
work behind the scenes yourself.
Special topics, including Shakespeare, the American musical, and
world theatre, provide examinations into unique genres, and an
overview of the fascinating history of theatre provides the
necessary background to understand and enjoy live performances. The
expert contributors to "Theatrical Worlds "reveal unexpected
connections between the stage and such diverse fields as languages
and literature, psychology, music, science, law, journalism, and
business. After reading this book you'll gain a deeper awareness of
the many layers of artistry
behind the wonders of theatre.
