This review is from: Stage Directors Handbook: Opportunities for Directors and Choreographers (Paperback)

The Stage Director's Handbook is a terrific resource. As a director for the stage I have long envied the resources available to playwrights, actors and others working in the theatre. There is little practical help/advice/guidance out there for directors. Well, not anymore. This book is a wealth of information on training programs (professional and academic), how to start your own company, and the in's and out's of New York's scene, and the regional theatre world. The only drawback to this book, I would say, is that there is comparatively little information for choreographers. As a director, though, I found it extremely informative, and recommend it highly. Thanks to the hard work of those who put this useful guide together.
