More About This Textbook

Overview

Professional theater artists join educators, critics, and students of drama to broaden the perception of theater as an educational force. They do not consider the academic study of dramatic literature, but only theater outside traditional institutions of learning. They present their views in essays, plays, reminiscences, conversations, observations, addresses, songs, and poetry. There is no index. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
