Theatre Backstage from A to Z: Revised and Expanded

It's a good book for one completely foreign to theatre. The book will introduce broad concepts to the novice. (For example: Black and white drawings of things are alright, but I wish that they were in color photos.) For one more familiar, or one wanting to know something more in depth, I'd look to other books.

Great book for tech crews out there! It teaches you historical events and vocabulary needed for theatre newbies like me. Break a leg ;)

I've used this book over a couple of decades in successfully teaching theatre arts to my students. It's an excellent, easy-to-use guide for all things backstage.

very informational
