"The Director's Vision: Play Direction from Analysis to Production"

This dynamic, practical text focuses equally on the arts of interpretation and problem-solving. The author leads students through short, lucid chapters to develop an organized, step-by-step methodology from play analysis through casting, rehearsal, and performance.

Catron, Louis E. The Director's Vision: Play Direction from Analysis to Production. Mountain View, California: Mayfield Publishing Company, 1989.

"Possibly the best directing primer on the market, Dr. Catron's book melds theory with practicality. Designed, I believe, as a college text, it has strong application at the professional and community theatre levels, better than Cohen/Harrop, John Miles-Brown and Dean & Carra. The only book which comes close to Catron's is Benedetti's The Director at Work."
