The most down-to-earth, straightforward survey of technical theater practice I have ever read. This book rings absolutely true and is wonderfully witty to boot. Perfect for the backstage beginner as it covers all the essentials in a very understandable way, but also a joy for the old hand meeting old truths like old friends. -- John R. Lucas, Managing Director of Theater, Brown University
