PLAY PRODUCTION
TODAY!

 Roy A. Beck  :  Daniel Fleischhacker
Russell J. Grandstaff  :  J.Thomas Sill
Arthur E. Nemitz, Jr.

 

The authors have assumed that persons using this book will be
engaged at the time of study in some form of dramatic production.
We recommend that learning is best when it takes place in an
experiental setting.  These learning experiences may be related
to full-scale production of one-act or three-act plays, ot they
may be simple workshop experiences set up in the classroom
environment.
In addition to being designed for cast members of plays, the
book is also intended to provide a comprehensive reference for
directors.  Even inexperienced directors can become fairly com-
petent producers by giving the text a careful study.
If directors will spend some time making models of sets, pract-
icing with make-up, reading many plays, and making maximum
use of expertise of others, the quality of plays will quickly improve.
  This book has been designed to cover all major aspects of play
production from careful play selection to artistically and finan-
cilly successful performances.
Although the chapters in the text follow each other logically,
they can be used independantly.   Resource materials, bibli-
ography. and workshop activites have been indicated at the
end of each chapter.

This makes it a valuable and valued resource for actors, directors
 and Drama teachers.
