Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a concise study of the American theatre, this work explores the past and present by looking at major aspects of theatregoing in America over the past 250 years. Diverse topics include plays On and Off Broadway, ticket prices, critics, playwrights, awards, musicals, actors, theatre groups and organizations, and theatre publications. The Almanac is both a reference work and a very personal browsing book. It is lively and highly readable, yet scholarly with commentary, suggestions for further reading, and a thorough index. This work will be of interest to scholars, students, and theatregoers in general. The Almanac provides an interesting collection of facts, presents personal commentary on trends in theatre, puts contemporary theatre in the context of the past, and serves as both a browsing book and a reference work. Material is presented by subject matter. The range is very wide, but the book often focuses on details, interesting trivia, and little-known facts. Like an eccentric collector who arranges his personal museum of art in his own unique way, The Theatregoers Almanac takes the reader on a personal and distinctive tour of the American theatre.

Book excerpt: Drawing together all kinds of writing about and around Live Art, The Live Art Almanac is both a useful resource and a great read for artists, writers, students and others interested in the field of interdisciplinary, performance-based art. The Live Art Almanac Volume 4 is? a collection of ‘found’ writings about and around Live Art that were originally published, shared, sent, spread and read between January 2012 and December 2014. Selected through recommendations and an open call for submissions, Volume 4 reflects the dynamic, international contexts that Live Art and radical performance-based practices occupy. Live Art is experiencing a huge ?surge in interest with major museums embracing this disparate area of practice, formerly cult artists becoming household names, and everyone from Shia LaBeouf, Lady Gaga and Jay Z trying to get in on the action. Reflecting the diversity of approaches and key developments from the last few years, Volume 4 is grouped into seven loosely themed sections: Locating Performance; Performance Under Attack; Speaking Up/Speaking Out; Show Me the Money; High Art in Low Places; Reviews; and Dearly Departed. This volume includes writings by,? and about: Ai Weiwei, Pussy Riot,?Tim Etchells, Karen Finley, Vaginal Davis, Ann Magnuson, Shaheen Merali, Jennifer Doyle, Marilyn Arsem, Guy Brett, Nigel Charnock, Claire Bishop, Bryony Kimmings, Matthew Barney, Coco Fusco, Stuart Hall, Miley Cyrus, Petr Pavlensky, Reverend Billy, Ron Athey, Mike Kelley, Oreet Ashery, CHRISTEENE, Marcia Farquhar, Morgan Quaintance, Adrian Howells, Amelia Abraham, Brian Boucher, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Mat Fraser, José Esteban Muñoz, Kembra Pfahler, Hennessy Youngman, Joan Rivers, Mykki Blanco, Monica Ross, Wu Tsang, boychild, Wendy Houstoun, the vacuum cleaner and many more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Players is a private social club founded in 1888 by Edwin Booth, the greatest and most celebrated American actor of his time. Membership today continues to be composed of actors and artists from the stage but now from the kindred professions of film and television, the fine and plastic arts, theatre history and education and those from other professions interested in the celebration and promotion of the arts. A Players Almanac comprises five Acts, the first with the history and growth of Gramercy Park in 1833 and the mansions built by the famous residents that surround it; the second focuses on the northward movement of commerce and theatre in the 1800s from lower Manhattan to Union Square and New Yorks famed Ladies Mile; the third on the early life of Booth as a touring star in 1849 with notes on Edwins first marriage, his most influential friends and the design of the first Booth Theatre; the fourth on the founding of The Players in 1888 and Stanford Whites design of The Players clubhouse; and the fifth act on the growing ill health and consequent death of Edwin Booth in 1893. Each Act has an extensive gallery that displays, in sequence, photos of Gramercy Park, early theatres in Union Square, the fashions and the buildings that housed the designs and styles created by the most prominent couturiers of the 19th century, of the Booth family, photolithographs of Edwin dressed in the costume of his most recognized characters and the early and later interiors of The Players. The Almanac concludes with an Addendum and a bibliography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the use of four model plays—Macbeth, Our Town, A Raisin in the Sun, and Rent—this textbook informs the student about theatre arts, stimulates interest in the art form, leads to critical thinking about theatre, and prepares the student to be a more informed and critical theatregoer. Structured into seven chapters, each looking at a major area or artist—and concluding with the audience and the students themselves—this textbook looks at both the theoretical and practical aspects of theatre arts, from the nature of theatre and drama to how it reflects society to explaining the processes that playwrights, actors, designers, directors, producers, and critics go through.
