activities that depend for their quality, efficiency and
effectiveness on people's performance have met their objectives?

activities are planned so that realistic and useful measurement of
their outcomes and value for money becomes possible? How can we
produce from these evaluations data of the quality and a standard
required to drive future improvement? Evaluating Human Capital
Projects addresses these issues for professionals in the private,

Actor-musicianship is a permanent feature of the musical theatre
landscape. Actor-musician shows can be seen from Bradford to
Broadway, from village halls to international arena tours. However,
with the exception of a couple of academic papers, there has been
nothing written about this fascinating area of theatre practice.
Jeremy Harrison's book addresses this deficit, operating as both a
record of the development of the actor-musician movement and as a
practical guide for students, educators, performers and
practitioners. It explores the history of actor-musicianship,
examining its origins, as well as investigating - and offering
guidance on - how this specialist form of music theatre is created.
It, in turn, acts as a means of defining an art form that has to
date been left to lurk in the shadows of musical theatre; a subset
with its own distinctive culture of performer, maker and audience,
but as yet no formal recognition as a specialism in its own right.
The actor-musician show is multifarious and as such this book
targets those interested in mainstream commercial work, as well as
alternative and avant-garde theatre practice. The book draws
together expertise from a range of disciplines with contributions
from many of the leading figures in this field, including
performers, directors, teachers, MDs, producers and writers. It
also features a foreword by theatre director John Doyle.
