I bought this book for an intro to Theater class that requires the 11th edition. For example, chapter four in the eleventh edition is the same as chapter three in this one. I figured I'd give saving some money a shot, then went through the chapters and compared the chapter titles with the chapter titles in the syllabus after classes started. Wouldn't you know it, they ended up being the same chapters with occasional renaming, but back one. (Chapter 5, aka chapter 4 in the 10th edition, has a different title: "Stage Spaces" became "Theater Spaces.") Otherwise, from what I can tell, they're practically similar.How did this happen, you ask. The introductory chapter in the tenth edition doesn't have a chapter number, and in the eleventh edition, it got one.
very well kept, except for the edges of the front page. I am, however, very satisfied. It serves its purpose perfectly.
I ordered the 10th edition of this book, and when it arrived, I received the 6th edition that did not correlate with anything I was doing in class. Although the book is expensive, if you can struggle to get the money, go ahead to your local bookstore and purchase a new and current edition - amazon sellers are getting worse with each day.
I purchased this text for a theatre appreciation course, and found it invaluable. Information is presented at the college level (unlike many textbooks), and the illustrations and photographs are outstanding. Highly recommended.
I read this text for my theater appreciation class. As a theater major that already knows most of the basics, it was boring at times for me personally, but it is a good source to get information on theater.
