Theatre as Human Action: An Introduction to Theatre Arts, Third
Edition is designed for the college student who may be unacquainted
with many plays and has seen a limited number of theatre
productions. Focusing primarily on four plays, this textbook aims
to inform the student about theatre arts, stimulate interest in the
art form, lead to critical thinking about theatre, and prepare the
student to be a more informed and critical theatregoer. The four
plays central to this book are the tragedy Macbeth, the landmark
African American drama A Raisin in the Sun, the American comedy
classic You Can't Take It with You, and-new to this edition-the
contemporary hip-hop musical Hamilton. At the beginning of the
text, each play is described with plot synopses (and suggested
video versions), and then these four representative works are
referred to throughout the book. In addition to looking at both the
theoretical and practical aspects of theatre arts-from the nature
of theatre and drama to how it reflects society-the author also
explains the processes that playwrights, actors, designers,
directors, producers, and critics go through. In addition to
Hamilton, this edition includes full color images throughout, as
well as revised chapters and expanded and updated material on the
technical aspects of theatre, coverage of children's theatre and
British theatre, the role of drama as therapy, and the importance
of diversity in theatre today. Structured into ten chapters, each
looking at a major area or artist-and concluding with the audience
and critics-the unique approach of Theatre as Human Action
thoroughly addresses all of the major topics to be found in an
introduction to theatre text.
