I bought this book for an intro to Theater class that requires the 11th edition. I figured I'd give saving some money a shot, then went through the chapters and compared the chapter titles with the chapter titles in the syllabus after classes started. Wouldn't you know it, they ended up being the same chapters with occasional renaming, but back one. For example, chapter four in the eleventh edition is the same as chapter three in this one. (Chapter 5, aka chapter 4 in the 10th edition, has a different title: "Stage Spaces" became "Theater Spaces.") Otherwise, from what I can tell, they're practically similar.

How did this happen, you ask? The introductory chapter in the tenth edition doesn't have a chapter number, and in the eleventh edition, it got one.

I had to get this book for my theatre appreciation class. it taught me alot that i didnt really think about when i went to see a play....thought provoking.

very good book it is a keeper on how theater is run even though I used it for a humanities course that I will never have to have again.

I purchased this text for a theatre appreciation course, and found it invaluable. Information is presented at the college level (unlike many textbooks), and the illustrations and photographs are outstanding. Highly recommended.

The book was required for a college course. I selected expidited delivery but it still took a month for it to come. This could easily have affected my grade. I asked for a shipping cost refund and was refused. I ordered other books on regular shipping that took two days to deliver, no problems. Hated the customer service basically.
If you are time oriented be wary.

It had very good quality, with no sign of wear, all pages were intact, the only problem was it's shipping price

This is the best buy ive ever made in college. I must have spent a couple hundred dollars on other books and i was so happy that i found this one for less then 20$. I recomend buying this book from amazon because the store value is alot more.

Sorry for the late review I am new to Amazon. BUT the book is great came on time and in great condition!

very well kept, except for the edges of the front page. I am, however, very satisfied. It serves its purpose perfectly!

I read this text for my theater appreciation class. As a theater major that already knows most of the basics, it was boring at times for me personally, but it is a good source to get information on theater.
