The Stage and the School

The Stage and the School is your entryway to the ever-changing world of the theater! It covers all aspects of the performing arts, including acting, producing, technical theater, film and television, and the theater's relationship with other art forms. Your book is made up of four main parts: Interpreting the Drama, in which you develop and polish your acting skills; Appreciating the Drama, in which you learn about the structure, varieties, and history of drama; Producing the Drama, in which you learn how to take a drama from the playwright's script to its final presentation; and Adapting and Interpreting the Drama, in which you learn how the essentials of drama have been adapted to fit evolving movie and television technology.

The Stage and the School guides you in practicing and mastering the skills that theater professionals use in their work. Features such as A Treasury of Scenes and Monologues, Application Activities, How to Produce a Play, and How to Write a Dramatic Script give you hands-on experience in performing, producing, and writing drama.
