What's New
An entirely new “Profile of a Production” chronicles the Roundabout Theatre’s production of Big River in 2003. This popular chapter allows students to experience, through a photo essay, the many facets of a professional production. Students can witness the sketches, set models, designs and technical aspects that all come together in the finished production.
Key Terms with Glossary definitions: now key terms with their definitions are given at the end of each chapter, as part of the summary and review section for students.
Over half the photos in the 5th edition are new, bringing students closer than ever to productions such as Movin’ Out, Anna in the Tropics, Take Me Out, Topdog/Underdog, The Seagull, Boy from Oz, Wicked, Master Harold and the Boys.
Student CD-ROM included with every copy of the book purchased from McGraw Hill. The CD-ROM incorporates video clips showing regional productions, along with interviews of theater personnel, directors and actors discussing the techniques and topics that are discussed in the text. To complement the historical section of the text, an interactive timeline of theater history is included.
