Stanislavski On Opera
"This welcome reissue is a prime document of twentieth-century opera production. This is essential reading for anyone concerned with the modern history of opera as drama." -- Opera News"Stanislavski on Opera is the single most important and timely book I know of on the subject. Important, for its sense of opera as an essentially truthful expression of the human condition; timely, because its pages reassert these values in the face of the symbolic wasteland now passing for the experience of opera on our international stages. This is a classic"." -- --Frank Corsaro

So Therefore...
A Practical Guide For Actors'In this succinct guide, Ruscio draws on his successful 40-year career of film and stage experience and his professional acting training with Sandy Meisner at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse School. He provides a plethora of practical, thorough, realistic advice in 41 bite-size chapters organized into five parts. His goal is to provide experiences that will help actors find truth and depth in their characters at all times, and to offer useful information about scene work and rehearsal processes for beginning to intermediate actors. He breaks down the salient points about each element of acting with examples and exercises including stage versus film acting, and how stamina and luck play a part in actor's lives. Part 1, "Warming Up," is foundational yet goes beyond other texts for beginning actors by including activities based on animal and life studies for character development. In part 2, "Scene Work," Ruscio emphasizes emotional truth and the importance of finding the spine--or main force--driving the character and the play. Throughout, he shares fascinating, humorous, and inspirational anecdotes from his experiences working with actors and directors ranging from Laurence Olivier to Matt Damon. Summing Up: Highly recommended.'J. Tomalin, CHOICE

Anyone who attempts to train actors or to direct plays will find here a great mine of practical wisdom." -- Francis Fergusson, Education Theatre Journal"The chapter on Diction and Singing offers an analysis of basic problems of singing that is unrivaled." -- MusicalAmerica

Creating A Role
"Altogether, Creating a Role is a brilliant little treatise, and a careful reading is worth several lessons in almost any English acting academy." -- Charles Marowitz, The Observer"The pattern of disciplined development of character is examined, from the actor's viewpoint, in three widely contrasting plays.

Creating a Role is a workshop manual. It tells an actor how to work." -- Brooks Atkinson"For the actor in need of nourishment of his gifts and guidance for his enthusiasms, this book is immeasurably important; for anyone with an interest in the theatre it is terrific entertainment." -- Paul Scofield, The SundayTimes"This newest and possibly best segment...focuses its attention upon the actual work of the actor in preparing specific characterizations from specific plays...A masterful job...Immensely stimulating reading--a valuable, a welcome addition." -- James Gousseff, Players
