For more than 30 years, the Wing has produced the Working in the Theatre seminars, a series that features the greatest names in theatre. In book form for the first time, this title is compact, and at an affordable-paperback price. Spanning the range of these seminars, with a concentration on the most recent shows and current stars, the information, anecdotes, gossip (yes!), heartaches, and triumphs are all here. Here, we learn: what a career in the theatre is really about, from inspiration to a Tony or Pulitzer Prize; how actors prepare? What actors have found to be the best techniques? How writers get their work staged? How playwrights and cast interact with the director?
