The Enjoyment of Theatre continues to bring students the expertise of a proven author team — one whose strong academic credentials combine with a wealth of theatre experience to create a text that effectively conveys the importance and excitement of theatre. Both majors and non-majors will find reading this text as enjoyable as the theatre itself. Cameron and Gillespie make theatre “come alive” for all students in a comprehensive and accessible way.

The new edition of this highly successful, audience-oriented text builds on the strong foundation of previous editions. By recognizing both educational and cultural diversity in the 1990's, the authors use their vast knowledge and deep understanding of theatre to span its 2500 plus-year history and to show students how theatre is — and will continue to be — relevant to their everyday lives.
