In the first book of its kind to be published in twenty years, ten
award-winning and current Broadway designers--five set designers, four
lighting designers, and one projection designer--discuss the business
aspects of the theatre world, sharing relevant insider information and
strategies that will prove invaluable to aspiring and seasoned
theatrical designers alike. Culled from years of experience, the
information offered in these enlightening conversations will strengthen
readers' understanding of how designing in the commercial theatre is
different from designing in an academic setting or not-for-profit
theatres. The conversations are accompanied by designer sketches,
finished drawings, technical plates of drafting, photos of scale models,
storyboards illustrating multi-scene productions and unique lighting
looks, and photos from Broadway and regional theatre productions. If
you've ever wondered what it really takes to make it in the world of
theatre design, let these Broadway stars be your guide!
