book has been written for both theatre and non-theatre majors with a focus on "how theatre is put on the stage." The newest edition of Reilly and Phillips includes stunning new photos of contemporary classical and multi-media productions, updates, and information on senior adult theatre, children's theatre, cutting edge solo shows and acting for film and television. A Native American short play, Spirit Line, by Judy Lee Oliva, is also included along with short essays on contemporary Irish theatre and the work of Asian American playwright Naomi Iizuka. Also, the table of contents has been reorganized to clarify the different themes in teaching theatre, and "Theatre History" is presented in one section of the text for greater flexibility. The "Innovations in Technology" chapter remains and examines the growing trend within the industry to utilize technology in relation to live performance. A complete workbook and instructor's manual are also available to accompany the text.
