Theatrical Design and Production: An Introduction to Scene Design and Construction, Lighting, Sound, Costume, and Makeup
Product ID: 348831
Theatrical Design and Production is a comprehensive and practical survey that examines the technical and design aspects of play production, including scene design and construction, lighting, sound, costume, and makeup. Design is presented as both an art closely integrated with the director’s, actor’s, and playwright’s visions, and a craft that provides practical solutions for the physical manipulation of stage space.

Pretty good
Overall a good book to familiarize yourself with theatrical design and production. It was very informative and actually interesting and easy to read (unlike most college books). However there were more typos than I'm comfortable with considering it's price tag. If it was a bit cheaper I'd consider buying it instead of just renting because I am sure it would be great for a quick reference for those easy-to-forget details.

School book
Got this book for a tech theatre class and it has been very helpful in understanding the material. It is well split off into the different sections of set, sounds, light, design, etc. Pictures and diagrams help offset the text.

Very good - great quality!
I liked the packaging it was good to know the book was safe and secure while traveling. Especially during covid it’s good to know it’s not exposed to germs. either way I have been keeping it in a safe location and it’s been good so far.

College Book Purchase/Rental
The ease and access to required books for Freshman College was an excellent experience. Costs/pricing was exceptional and in many instances more favorable than school book purchases. Would recommend services to parents and students.

Must-have for tech theatre
This book is very good and very detailed, a great book to have when working with the Technical side of Theatre. When the book arrived, some of the pages were a little bent, but to be honest, the same thing (or worse) would've probably happened the first time I took the book anywhere.
