Description

Illustrating the interplay between life on and off the stage, ACTING: ONSTAGE AND OFF, 7e demonstrates how offstage performance can be effectively adapted for the theatre, as well as how onstage training can be applied toward leading a full life outside the theatre.

The Seventh Edition features insightful words of wisdom from a variety of successful classic and contemporary actors.
