Customer comments on this selection.
 AWESOME!!! BEST BOOK EVER !!! Well worth the money worth GOLD!!!
I Love this book! It's an easy read, simple, and straight to the point. Packed full of useful info. I'm directing my first play for a fund raiser for a Christian school and I can tell you how great this book is. I actually bought 3 books on Theater, the others were just to all over the place. " Lets Put On A Show", is Awesome,Do yourself a favor BUY IT!! you won't regret it.

Terrific reference for small amateur theatre groups
I saw an advertisement for this book in the Playbill for "Mary Poppins" on Broadway when I was last in New York. A group of us had been kicking around the idea of formalizing our little theatre productions which we had been putting on sporadically for several years, so I ordered this book.
It's a great little reference on starting and maintaining a community theatre. It has sections on play selections, incorporation, rehearsal schedules, finances, advertising, and most other topics which arose as we discussed our next production and incorporating our little group. Even though it's written by a five-time (!) Tony-award winner, it's not written just for big cities or groups with big budgets. We have a miniscule budget in a rural community and it spoke right to us.
I highly recommend it. (I also recommend seeing a Disney show if you happen to be in New York any time soon. Wow!)
...Plus a lot more!
How informative can a big, Broadway producer really be? How much does he know about the real world and shoestring budgets? A LOT! Mr. Lane covers theatre from so many angles he has obviously lived it at several different levels.
It is very well written, humorous and it's playwriting section was my favorite. The list of resources, in itself, is worth the price.
My main interest is developing new musicals and this book has proved to be inspirational.
This volume has more than exceeded expectations and has me applying to the "Old Farts Rep Co." as we speak!
