Description: "This book is a general, fundamental, overview of the who, what, and where of theatre life in New York. It explores where plays come from and how they get produced; describes the kinds of people who work in the theatre, and a little of what they do; and explains how actors, directors, stage managers etc. look for work, keep their jobs and what they do when they are out of work. This book also looks at the different types of theaters and theatre companies, and explains the similar and contrasting features that make all theatre the same--yet different. It even outlines a typical audition situation; looks at an average rehearsal day; and observes a load in and a work call."--Page 4 of cover.
