Summary: Useful For A While
Comment: The trait that makes this book most useful is also the trait that will be its ultimate undoing. Where many books on the business of theatre try to be useful over the passage of time, this book aims to be useful right now. And because of that, there's no telling how useful it'll be a year from now.

There are a lot of facts and figures in this book. It really tries to establish what the budget for your rough showcase production is going to be, and you'll need to figure inflation into that after this long. There are also addresses and phone numbers of theatres in L.A. and NYC, theatre professionals nationwide, and business contacts who can help smooth your path to a full showcase production. It goes without saying that you should plan on these being at least somewhat out of date.

But it does have specifics like these and more. For mounting a one-off production or starting your own theatre company, this is the best how-to book I've yet run across. It's the only one that really tells you what you need to do and how to do it, rather than laying down vague platitudes on the theme.

Get it and put it to use. But bear in mind it's nearly three years old, and that's a long time in the arts.
