Book description
In the first book of its kind to be published in twenty years, ten
award-winning and current Broadway designersÂ-five set designers, four
lighting designers, and one projection designerÂ-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!
