Included are specialties that have been around for decades, as well as those still emerging in the field. Concise information is provided on job duties, estimated earnings, recommended training, examples of career paths, and the insights are given of working pros in management, scenery, audio/visual, costumes, video and projection, engineering, and theatrical systems. There’s even a detailed appendix on finding on-the-job training as an intern, apprentice, or paid worker. For anyone interested in a behind-the-scenes life in the theater,Careers in Technical Theater is a priceless resource.

[Craig Tyler · Rating 3 out of 5]

I purchased this book as a primer into Architectural Practice which was NOT the AIA's Guide to Professional Architectural Practice. And I recieved just that. This book is written in a very "down to earth" way with much of the business information being geared towards architects and designers. I will probably re-read portions as needed in the future, but this is by no means an exhaustive reference on the subject. It is certainly worthy of a browse for those seeking alternative practice information. And it is definitely a must purchase for those seeking a cheering section, the author is highly motivated and wishes you all the best.
