This review is from: Great Jobs for Theater Majors, Second edition (Great Jobs For... Series) (Paperback)
This book is very good. It touches on all facets of theatre and how to go about getting jobs. It also puts forth some realism on salaries and how hard it is to break into the business. I recommend it to any theatre major or professional.
