Curtain Up! How to Stage Great Youth Productions
They say you should never judge a book by its cover, and this is certainly true of Curtain Up!. The exaggerated graphics on the front cover did not appeal to me and it didn't look like a book that would be aimed at me, but I was wrong and Curtain Up! is an extremely useful starting point for anyone wanting to put on a school or amateur theatre production.
The book is divided into sections based on direction, vocal direction, choreography, production design, puppets and props, scriptwriting, lighting design and publicity with each section written by an expert in the field. Each chapter begins with a short introduction to the writer followed by a closer look at some of the main areas that you would need to consider before and during a performance run.
