Alice Through the Proscenium: more scenic set design

Alice Through the Proscenium is THE traveler's guide to the strange world of set design. With wry humor, based on the author's experience in regional and civic theater, Alice takes the reader step-by-step through the process: reading the script; then designing, drawing, and modeling; into set building, painting, and dressing; and right through to Strike. This book explains working with the rest of the characters - the design and production teams of director, producers, designers, builders, and actors. Even critics. Because not all the drama is on-stage. With examples and down-to-earth suggestions, Alice is a resource for new or seasoned designers. . . who may laugh out loud. (Not all the humor is on-stage either.) Theaters, producers, and directors will find insight into set design. There are chapters on design methods and elements; helpful illustrations; an index/glossary; and tool, material, and book lists. Final chapters discuss film and TV production design and a design career.
