"Schulman and Meckler have assembled an excellent collection . . . Taken individually, [these] scenes and monologues are full of the trials and tribulations of modern (and, occasionally, not-so-modern) life; they provide ample opportunity for the display of technique . . . This collection deserves a place on the already groaning shelves of scenes and monologues because there is unique material here. Schulman's introduction should become a permanent part of every actor's toolbox, and of every director's memory."—Library Journal

"Speak the Speech! is quite the most detailed introduction to the delights of Shakespeare that I have ever read. Equally useful to the enthusiastic amateur or the dedicated professional, it is a must for any college and worth a place in any private library. Many congratulations."—Terry Hands, Artistic Director Emeritus, The Royal Shakespeare Company

"Thinking Like a Director helps fill the void of practical handbooks that are available to theater directors. It is smart and lucidly written and should prove to be an invaluable guidebook for students and emerging directors."—Donald Margulies

"Impassioned, intelligent, informative, and, quite simply, one of the best theatre books I have read."—Michael Coveney, Financial Times

"Many actors, newcomers and veterans alike, often wonder why it's so difficult to be as real, natural, and emotionally charged on stage or in front of the camera as we are in our daily lives. Harold Guskin explains how, by habit and misconception, we tend to undermine our potential. How to Stop Acting is a clear and concise actor's guide to living the truth in our work."—Christopher Reeve

"Stuart Spencer's The Playwright's Guidebook is indispensable. Clearly and thoroughly, Mr. Spencer—a playwright himself—leads all playwrights (not only the beginner) through the travails of creation and the jungle of production. He is to be congratulated."—Edward Albee
