Alice Through the Proscenium: more scenic set design
Alice Through the Proscenium is THE traveler's guide to the strange world of theater set design. <br /><br />Written with wry humor and based on the author's wide experience in regional and civic theater at all budget levels, Alice takes the reader step-by-step through the process: first reading the script; then design, drawing, and modeling; into set building, painting, and dressing; and right through to final strike. Along the way, this slim volume explains working with the rest of the characters - the design and production teams of director, producers, designers, builders, and actors. Even how to deal with critics. Because not all the drama is on-stage.<br /><br />Filled with examples and down-to-earth suggestions, Alice is a resource for both new and seasoned designers... who may find themselves laughing out loud. (Not all the humor is on-stage either.) Theaters, producers, and directors will find insight into theater sets and their designers.
