Created for Theater Appreciation courses that cover both history and elements, the new fourth edition of "The Lively Art" emphasizes the visual dimension of the theater with a four-color interior, revised illustration program, and a new photo essay that chronicles the development and production of a play from concept to curtain call. In addition to the text revisions, each copy of the book is accompanied by a free Theatergoer's Guide to attending performances and by the "Making the Grade CD-ROM" a study tool for students.
