Carver's Manual on Community Theatre Directing: A Step-By-Step Approach

James Carver set out to write a "How To" book for those interested in directing at community theatres. He has succeeded in doing much more than writing a manual. He has written a *Chautauqua, an anecdotal instruction book for all aspiring actors, directors, producers and managers in a witty and enlightening manner-and above all, a book for those who love the magic of community theatre, and are fascinated by what "goes on behind the scenes." Nor should the lessons of this manual be limited to community theatre. The principles so clearly enunciated apply to all theatre productions, certainly to theatre at the high school and college level; and neither should any professional director, no matter what may be his or her skills or level of achievement, be without this manual. The basics are presented in an unforgettable manner, and "why didn't I think of that," pops up on every other page.
