Whether one has enjoyed the performing arts for years or has never stepped foot into a theatre, Theatre Appreciation: A Behind the Scenes Look of this Collaborative Adventure introduces readers to the craft, skills, and personnel needed for the creation of theatre.
This visually-stunning, online course package familiarizes the reader with the practices and staff of the performing arts and places them within the context of the world’s historical, social, and cultural traditions.
From audiences and actors to designers and producers, this interactive textbook explores material relative to two basic ideas:
- Theatre is not just any show from your high school days or the next big Broadway Disney musical. Theatre is and should be a part of everyone’s life because human activity and our current forms of entertainment can be traced back to theatre.
- Theatre and history go hand-in-hand. Theatre was not only shaped by what was going on in society, culture, politics, and so on, but society was also shaped by what was being developed on the stage.
