Exploring Theater (Group 2)

This set introduces students to some fascinating but often overlooked areas of staging a show. These areas may be less visible than those of acting or directing, but they are no less valuable. Whether it’s by creating a look or choreographing movement for the actors, orchestrating a production, adding vocals to the show, getting people to attend, or integrating puppets into a performance, students can make their mark on the theater. These books will also help prepare students for roles that will increase the skills that fit their aptitude and interests.
