A great Introduction

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!
