Product Overview
Presenting the experience of theatre; who sees, what is seen, where and how it is seen largely from the viewpoint of audiences exposed to a complex, living art that involves people, spaces, plays, designs, staging, forms, language, and productions. The text takes students through this complete experience of theatre in a four-part organization: Part I (Seeing Theatre) provides a basic introduction to theatre as well as discussing traditional and alternative theatrical spaces; Part II (The Image Makers: Playwright) introduces students to the craft of playwriting; Part III (The Image Makers: Artists and Producers) covers the roles of actors and behind-the-scenes personnel in the theatre; Part IV (Reimaging Theatre) discusses Theatrical Diversity and criticism.
