The ideal theatre appreciation text for courses focusing on theater elements, The Theatre Experience encourages students to be active theatre-goers as they learn about the fundamentals of a production. By addressing the importance of the audience, Wilson brings the art of performance to life for students who may have little experience with the medium. Two new chapters and added Global Cross-Currents boxes throughout greatly expand the text's coverage of global theatre, while revised coverage of theatrical design and production exposes students to the latest processes, techniques, and technologies in the field. Along with an extended box program and dynamic new photos, these elements combine to provide an engaging, current, and comprehensive introduction to the world of theatre.

Can't read Kindle Edition on Kindle?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Theatre Experience (Kindle Edition)
When I purchased the book, I guess I would assume that the Kindle Edition would be able to work on my 3G. It says that you can use it on an iPad, Mac or PC, no Kindle required. It doesn't say that it WON'T work on the Kindle. I have the App on my Mac, but I was hoping to be a little bit more mobile. Just a little frustrating at the deception.
