"The Art of Theatre: Then and Now," 5th Edition, isn’t just about history or scripts, it’s about how theatre connects to your life. Each chapter starts with a short, engaging intro that explains why the topic matters and how creativity, collaboration and storytelling can help you see the world (and yourself) in new ways. Explore real-world issues like freedom of speech, censorship, copyright and the role of the arts in today’s culture -- all through the lens of live performance. Along the way, you’ll discover how theatre compares to TV and film, and why the stage remains such a powerful space for truth, emotion, and imagination. If you want extra support, the optional MindTap® digital tools make it easy to study, review and stay on track -- anytime, anywhere. The Art of Theatre helps you think creatively, express yourself boldly and see the world like an artist.
