Dedication
To three of my drama teachers,
who taught me that loving drama was a good thing to do:
To my mentor, Dr. Wayne Rood, who taught
me to be bold and to be kind;
To Harold Zahorik, who taught me balance
and generously filled in the gaps;
To Irma Forsberg, who taught me to keep
going even if the roof falls in.

Contents

With many thanks to my publishersGwen Feldman and Jim Fox for agreeing to do a new edition, and for all theyve done to make the first two editions successful. And many thanks to Jim for his excellent editing.

Thank you to Alvin Shim, my college intern, for his invaluable help on researching, brainstorming with me, discussing films with me, and doing a month of hard work to help me finish this project on time.

Thank you to my wonderful readers who gave me feedback: Elizabeth Copley, Devorah Cutler-Rubenstein, Elona Malterre, Lori Marrett, Kim Peterson, Ellen Sandler, Dr. James Schaap, Pamela Jaye Smith, and Elizabeth Stevens.
