Reviews
“Rena Shagan earns an A for her 'show and tell' handbook on touring the performing arts. More than a primer on the basics—this expanded edition draws on the savy experience of pros to explore the future role of booking and tour management. As a desk reference or college text, this book holds a place in my library.”
—Ken Crossley, Presenter and Theatre Management Instructor, Brigahm Young Univesity
“A thorough, accessible, and helpful how-to of the performing arts industry that de-mystifies touring. From important nuts-and-bolts examples to thoughtful and honest discussions of the importance of long-term relationships in the arts world, Shagan brings to the fore years of her own valuable experience and key interviews and contributions by presenters, managers, and technical staff. Her book is invaluable resource for artists just starting to contemplate touring, and full of 'a-ha' moments for those who've toured for years.”
—Margaret Lawrence, Director of Programming, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College
