Theatre is not merely entertainment, but a way for people to connect with one another and express important ideas about our culture and society. Theatre, Brief immerses its readers in the world of professional theatre, giving them in-depth descriptions of many job functions and various aspects of a play’s production from beginning to end. Students will enjoy the “Why Study” Spotlight and sidebar features that connect the chapter topics to future careers. Through coverage of design, acting, and directing, students are given a behind-the-scenes look at professional theatre artists performing their craft.
