Helpful Books

Here are some books that I have found to be extremely helpful in my theatrical experience. Some are more complicated than others, but as you progress in theatre you will want to become more and more familiar with the concepts taught in them. Most of them are books written by contemporary theatre-makers working in the field today. I HIGHLY recommend reviewing them and getting familiar with their principles.

  1. Jason, excellent website, I especially liked your assignment page. It was very good. The only thing you're lacking is your calendar, which is empty, probably because you didn't make it public (this would make it show up for you, but not anyone else). To fix this, watch the tutorial on my website on the Class Website page about Google Calendars, and I show you how to make a calendar public.

    Also, you're still missing your picture (or video) on the About Me page, so let me know when you get it worked out!
