Reviews

Scenic Art for the Theatre, third edition, is an excellent reference text and how-to book that also emphasizes conceptual and interpretive work. Crabtree and Beudert have achieved a perfect balance with this new edition. --Theater Design and Technology

With each edition of this volume (1st ed., CH, Dec'98, 36-2110), Crabtree and Beudert continue to improve their text and make it a valuable source for those interested in scenic art as a profession. The authors are working professionals, and they provide a wealth of information on training, skills, work environments, responsibilities, paint, color theory, tools and tricks of the trade, processes for laying out and preparing surfaces, and drawing formulas. Summing Up: Recommended. -- R.A. Naversen, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, CHOICE
