description: Since prehistoric times, man has used masks to express himself in ritual, drama, and religion. Many traditional dramatic works, especially those of Asia and Europe, rely heavily on masks to characterize and express the persona of the actor. There has been little published material available, however, to guide technicians assigned the task of creating the masks for theatrical production.Thurston James, veteran Properties Master of the UCLA Theater Department, has written The Prop Builder's Mask-Making Handbook for prop builders, costume designers, and actors (professional and amateur) who intend to use a mask or masks to enhance a stage play or other presentation.
