"The Art of Theatre: Then and Now," 5th Edition, brings the world of theatre to life. With coverage of cultural diversity, creativity and the many talents and techniques that shape the stage, this edition offers a comprehensive, approachable introduction to theatre in all its forms. The text gives instructors the freedom to tailor their courses to specific goals and teaching styles. A custom edition option allows educators to design a version of the text that highlights relevant topics for their students and connects meaningfully to students’ lives, exploring subjects such as copyright, the National Endowment for the Arts, censorship and freedom of expression. Drawing parallels between live theatre and television and film helps students appreciate what makes the stage timeless and unique.
