Reviews

Archer, Gendrich, and Hood have done it again! Theatre: Its Art and Craft is a terrific book that combines well-organized and readable text with significant illustrations into one affordable package for the beginning theatre student.--Kimberly Poppiti, Dowling College I have adopted many texts on the subject of general theatre over thirty-six years. This text is superior to all of them. It speaks to the reader as if they were an audience member, theatre artist, or a casual observer. From the nature of art and criticism to the practical application of the theatre art form, this book clearly provides all the necessary information to assist in the edification of eager minds. Bravo! to the authors.--Bradley W. Sabelli, George Washington University Archer, Gendrich, and Hood have done it again!
