Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Stage Directing for Amateurs: A Handbook for Amateur Managers and Actors Demand - if one can so name that which is no more than an indefinite but insistent feeling - the actor has found that he has gained in every way. If amateur players aim as high as they can; if they work hard to give a performance which modestly asks to be judged by professional standards; if they try to get all the values possible out of the play; if, instead of merely reading lines, they make a real attempt - with what light they have - to impersonate character, we think there is a great gain all round. Not only is it more fun, but there is also a marked and permanent ad vance in accepted standards. Not only are rehearsals more interesting, when they are made the occasion of intelligent study, but they are a whole lot more amusing than those of the older type.

VII THE STAGE AND THE SCENERY The disadvantages under which most companies of amateurs give their performances are so many and so formidable, that one often wonders how they attain the success they often do attain. Improvised stages, ill designed and ill fitted costumes, inappropriate scenery, very bad lighting--against all these obstacles the amateur contends blithefully. Most frequently he simply ignores the obstacles; and perhaps this is a mercy, for if he realized his handicaps, he might not run at all. But the better way, one may venture to think, is frankly to recognize the difficulties of a mechanical sort in the way of the manager; to learn what are some of the really indispensable requirements in the matter of scenic investiture; and to try very hard, for the sake of the play, to live up to them. THE DIMENSIONS OF THE STAGE Most amateur plays are produced on far too small stages. Perhaps the old fashion of "private theatricals" in somebody's drawing room is responsible for the continuance of the habit of staging even pretentious plays, oftentimes, under conditions of space which are really impossible. There may be a dozen reasons for this convention; but there are a hundred better reasons for breaking with it at every opportunity. Schools which take their dramatics at all seriously ought to use the greatest care, in building new auditoriums with a stage, that the latter is something more than a platform suitable for a concert or an address. Unless plays are to be only/semi-successful as artistic productions, the actors must have plenty of room. On the small stages, too often deemed appropriate for non-professional players, there is quite lacking all opportunity for the free and slightly exaggerated movement so necessary for...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who has ever wanted to take an acting class, "this is the best book on acting written in the last twenty years" (David Mamet, from the Introduction). This book describes a technique developed and refined by the authors, all of them young actors, in their work with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, actor W. H. Macy, and director Gregory Mosher. A Practical Handbook for the Actor is written for any actor who has ever experienced the frustrations of acting classes that lacked clarity and objectivity, and that failed to provide a dependable set of tools. An actor's job, the authors state, is to "find a way to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances of the play." The ways in which an actor can attain that truth form the substance of this eloquent book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invaluable guide to the traditions and best practices of the professional stage actor, from first rehearsal to final curtain. Professional stage actors are expected to have ready knowledge of a multitude of unwritten yet well-established protocols. Traditionally, this knowledge was passed along from one generation of stage actors to the next via word of mouth, or were learned by having one’s missteps corrected—until now. In The Stage Actor’s Handbook, these protocols have finally been assembled into one volume, allowing theatre artists to know in advance what is expected of them. A definitive guide for professionals and aspiring professionals alike, this book details best practices on everything from rehearsal demeanor to backstage etiquette. It also shares the theatre’s unique vernacular and revered superstitions, as well as field-tested guidelines on touring, interactions with the public, and more. Written by established theatre pros Michael Kostroff (The Producers, Les Misérables)and Julie Garnyé (Cats, Come From Away), The Stage Actor’s Handbook features bits of wisdom contributed by legendary stage actors, including Bebe Neuwirth, John Lithgow, Chita Rivera, Alfred Molina, Billy Porter, Betty Buckley, Harvey Fierstein, Sam Waterston, Jason Alexander, Cynthia Nixon, and Sir Patrick Stewart.
