In this thoroughly revised new edition, the popular guide firmly embraces the digital age with new content about digital audio, intelligent lighting, LED lighting, video projection, and show control systems, all explained in the same approachable style that has kept this book in the pockets of industry professionals for many years.

This book teaches:
- Who's who on a theatrical production team
- What is needed to know about technical theater and why
- What to look for when choosing a space for a show
- How to communicate with lighting, scenery, audio, and costume designers
- How to stage manage an effective show or presentation
