This is a great text for beginning drama students, either in a class or solo.

The units include:
Inner Resources (sense recall, observation, imagination, emotional response, etc.)
Movement (stage directions, motivation, basic stage combat, etc.)
Voice (improving voice, memorization, retelling stories, etc.)
Characterization (analyzing characterization, creating a character, etc.)
Production (makeup, costuming, basic sets, basic lighting, etc.)
Theatre Appreciation (attending a play, exploring theatre history, etc.)
Monologues and Scenes (Monologues and scenes for both men and women and mixed groups)

This is an all-encompassing theatre book, ideal for teachers, students, or those who want to know more about the theatre. The writing style is uncomplicated and not too technical, there are photos throughout, and each section includes projects to reinforce the concepts highlighted.
