Reviews
“Anyone who is tempted to follow the gleeful example of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Babes in Arms—‘…tell them to meet me in the barn…we’re gonna put on a show’—should read Business and Legal Forms for Theater from cover to cover. This book is so much more than just a collection of forms. Author Charles Grippo, an entertainment lawyer, playwright, and producer, clearly describes why each legal agreement is needed and explains, in plain English, the agreement’s key provisions.”
— David Rodger, Editor, Theatre Design & Technology
