This book was an excellent handbook for aspiring dramaturgs, and did a lot of work in framing personal skills as marketable skills. I'm excited to update my blog and continuing seeing live theatre. Chemers does have a tendency to talk a lot, and not always on the most necessary things, so I chose to skim where necessary.

I was suppose to read this book for my introduction to dramaturgy course....but I failed to do so. I finally read it, and I am really excited to even be pursuing this career. It's everything I love about theatre. Reading this book realized that this is the perfect job for me. The book has some nice advice for things to do such as lobby displays and talk backs that I will most likely try to do this year. I am definitely using this as my Bible until I find another book.
