Outstanding!By WALTER fj bROWNFirst; let me say that I do not know Prof. Wayth. Second; let me say that I have a LOT of books on training for actors and I have read and used every one of them. I love this book. I found it clear; concise; generous and motivating! I wish it had been available when I was a novice theatre artist looking for guidance. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about post-secondary theatre training. I particularly like Prof. Wayths observation that an acting school/system may not resonate at one point in an actors development and yet be revelatory at another point. That has certainly been my experience. Greater experience gave me greater appreciation of the value of each of these ways of approaching theatre. This book is already on my gift-giving list for all my theatre friends!
