Preface

This book grew out of the theater planning courses that I’ve taught for several years at Yale School of Drama. The students in my classes are graduate students in technical theater and theater management, joined on rare occasions by an intrepid student from Yale School of Architecture. A few students earn an MFA degree with a concentration in Theater Planning and go on to work in theater consulting, theme park design, or a related field. Most move on to other careers, but at some point in those careers almost all find themselves involved in planning a theater building. Theater planning stands betwixt the performing arts and architecture, and my hope is that this book will be a helpful resource for people in both fields.
