I read the chapter on directing techniques before I started rehearsals and I used most of that chapter in just the first two weeks, then kept going back to it. My stage manager used the book, t. "I LOVE it!" according to Elizabeth Crocker. This book is so easy & helpful! It is a must for a quick grab resource as well as a great tool for indepth planning.
