Review by Booklist Review
This essential handbook is a comprehensive guide to theatrical production. After first defining typical theater personnel (e.g., producer, director, stage manager, designers), the basic elements of the design process, and the prominent theatrical eras, Gillette presents a detailed, fully illustrated guide to theater craft. Stage equipment, tools and materials for building a set, techniques of scene painting, key considerations of lighting, multimedia projectors, theory and practice of costume design and makeup all of this and more is covered in a readable text that is supplemented by first-rate line drawings, black-and-white and color photos, and various charts and diagrams. Heartily recommended for large collections or small ones needing a first-time, all-purpose purchase. Glossary; references; index. MAB. 792.023 Stage management [OCLC] 86-61128
