This book arrived quicker than expected. It was also $100 less than what the school bookstore charged for the used copy. I found out I couldn't sell it back because next quarter they are going to the newer edition, so this was a great find!

Used this book for Intro to Theatre in college and it is a great book and very informative on the history of theatre!

Never being interested in this sort of topic so I never thought i would purchased something that would cover this sort of thing. After using this book for a winter session Theatre 100 class I found that I was able to learn quite a lot from this text in such a short time. The book covers everything from the role of the directer and producers to the history of theatre it's self. And although it was quite informative I don't feel that like most textbooks that it is really worth the high cost of the listed price.

I got this book used and it came right in time for me midterm. The quality of the book is good there is little writing inside. I also found that the cover of my book had so many Chegg stickers that don't come off, other than that it's just what I need.

I ordered this for my granddaughter for a college class. It was a much better price than at the college bookstore and it arrived just in time for her first class! Haven't seen the book, but assume it was in great shape and it looks like fun if you enjoy theatre!

I purchased this text book for an Intro. to Theatre class. It is indeed in very good condition. As was pointed out, the only marks are highlights. Overall in good condition.

The book serves it's purpose as being a textbook required for the class. It was in color which is nice and lives up to the standard that most textbooks have. The textbook being in color is very nice.

I loved this book as well as my theatre class this year. This book really breaks down acting with short to the point chapters. It's chock full of good information.
