Reviews
“A concise, informative, and well-organized introduction to basic legal and industry issues, presented in a reader-friendly style. While particularly recommended for aspiring producers, it is also a handy reference tool for the more seasoned theater veteran, as well.”
—Robert C. Harris, senior partner, Lazarus & Harris, LLP, and adjunct professor of entertainment law, Hofstra University School of Law
“An entertaining, easy-to-read, practical resource for anyone interested in the art and craft of play production.”
—Dennis Zacek, Artistic Director, Victory Gardens Theater
“This is a very useful compendium of essentials, from the mundane to some very particular and hard to find information. To find a straightforward, factual, but also somewhat humorous collection of facts and practices in this business is refreshing and unusual. This is destined to become a textbook that gets dog-eared from constant reference.”
—Tony Forman, managing director, Madison Repertory Theatre
