From Library Journal
Grippo, a theatrical attorney, producer, and commercially produced playwright, has filled a hole in theater literature with this one-stop guide to theater law for non-attorneys. It covers everything from organizing a theater company to dissolving one. As anyone who has worked in even the smallest theater knows, legal issues touch every aspect of producing a play, from obtaining performance space and licensing plays, to managing commercial and nonprofit companies, to safety and taxes. While not going into specifics-which would be impossible, as state and local laws vary greatly-Grippo provides checklists of the questions producers need to address at each stage of a production. He is the first to state firmly that this book is "not a substitute for legal advice," and he clearly disclaims responsibility for himself and the publisher should anyone decide to use it as such. Yet Grippo does promise that by addressing the questions presented here, a producer will greatly decrease the amount of money spent on attorney's fees. Highly recommended for theater, law, and small business collections.
