Detailed planning is required to ensure the transition from rehearsal room to stage takes place smoothly as possible in the available time - which always too short. This book will help everyone involved in a production to understand the processes involved in integrating the actors, singers and dancers with the technical environment of the stage and so avoid many of the problems tat inevitably occur.

In addition, there are sections on the staging of different kinds of productions including plays, musicals, dance, operas, light entertainment and amateur theatre." -- Book back cover
