Another Opening, Another Show: An Introduction to the Theatre Review
As an intro book, this has all the right ingredients to capture the imagination of those who are new to the mechanics of theater. With illustrations, photographs, and easy-to-understand text, this book has it all. It explains everything from 'flying fish and dying villains' to Aristotle's three unities to where to get your broadway tickets... For the greenhorns to theater, this book will definitely kick-start your imagination. A great book.
There are some sections (such as that of the Guthrie Theater) which need to be updated, but they will definitely cover that in the next edition.
Who doesn't love illustration and photographs!? This book has a lot!
Another Opening, Another Show: An Introduction to the Theatre Overview
Designed for non-majors, this introductory text is a practical guide to theatre--what it is and how to enjoy it. Its survey of the theatre landscape is enlivened by behind-the-scenes stories from the two authors--one an actor/director and the other a costume designer. Exercises at the ends of chapters (unique to this text) prompt students to reflect on their own experiences with theatre.
