Amateur Theater: A Guide for Actor and Director

Excerpt from Amateur A Guide for Actor and DirectorThis book is designed to be a practical guide for the beginner in the amateur theater. It touches on almost all the aspects of producing a non-professional play except the financial ones. The organization is presupposed. This book deals with the choosing, casting, directing and staging of plays. It is not aimed at making a professional of anyone - only to interest and, possibly, help those for whom the production of plays seems to be a pleasant hobby. It is primarily intended for the ones responsible for putting on the play and, particularly, for the amateur director who finds himself facing a new play with a mixed flock of relatively determined but variably equipped interpreters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
