Synopsis: Another Opening, Another Show derived from the authors asking students what they wanted in an introductory theatre textbook. They've given them exactly that: A book that doesn't cost a lot A book that is fun to read A book that helps them understand and enjoy theatre An insider's look at theatre, not a scholar's critique of it An opportunity to learn about plays on a stage rather than plays on a page Pictures that illustrate the ideas in the text instead of just decorating it Instructors will appreciate the Third Edition's modularity. Each chapter stands on its own, allowing for maximum flexibility for individual course needs. The book's inclusive approach touches on cultural diversity and gender issues in American theatre, as well as adding an entirely new chapter on Asian theatre. Photos of contemporary productions enrich the text, and a variety of side material shows students how the concepts they read about are applied by theatre professionals.
