An excellent resource for Acting and Directing instructors at the university level, Directing and Theatre Pedagogy students, high school/secondary theatre teachers, and community theatre leaders, Objectives, Obstacles, and Tactics in Practice serves as a resource for lesson planning and exploration, and provides an encyclopedia of the best practices in the field today"-- Provided by publisher. |
