Theater Mgmt Textbook

Very comprehensive book, the most modern of Langley's writings. DEFINITELY get this edition over any older versions which have considerably less detail and some outdated ideas.

THE "BIBLE" OF THEATRE MANAGEMENT

Having studied with the late Professor Langley at the Brooklyn College School of Theatre Management, I can assure you that this book captures the vast knowledge that this man had of all things relating to producing theatre. While it is true that certain information (like specific union contracts) may be out of date, there is still an incredible depth of valuable content here. My hope is that the publisher will eventually have a current manager update the book, but until then, if you are interested in producing ANY kind of theatre, from Broadway to Community, this book must be the first one on your shelf.

The essential manual and training guide for Theatre Managers

This is the most comprehensive book in the field, covering all aspects of theatrical management in detail. It serves as an excellent textbook for training as well as a manual for both beginning and experienced managers. No one should consider building a new theatre without looking over the included checklist. All areas are covered from small non-profit arts organizations to commercial theatre with plenty of examples, and an extensive appendix. The bibliography alone is worth the price of the book.
