Stagecraft 1

A complete guide to backstage work

All the fundamentals of backstage work are outlined in William H. Lord's theatre text, Stagecraft 1.

Everything the aspiring stage technician needs to know to get started is explained in nineteen chapters. Major topcs adressed are: stages and rigging, production staff, properties, sound, lumber, tools and hardware, scenery construction, lighting instruments, control of light and color, and electricity and devices.

Each chapter contains a glossary of technical terms that may be unfamiliar to the beginner. Photographs, diagrams, and illustrations demonstrate key concepts and ideas. A comprehensive index makes reference easy.

The Stagecraft 1 Student Workbook is a saddle-stitched book drilled for insertion into a 3-hole binder. Format allows for structured note taking. Worksheets contain 23 crossword puzzles and illustrations.

The Stagecraft 1 Teacher's Guide is a 76-page saddle-stitched book that includes all the student workbook pages with the general answers filled in and answers to the crossword puzzles. It also includes copyright approval to make overhead transparencies along with a CD-ROM with quizzes, tests, exam, and student workbook information.
