The best plays theater yearbook, 2007-2008
"Here in this 89th edition of The Best Plays Theater Yearbook are all of the many features that have long distinguished this indispensable reference work on the American theater. What makes the series unique is its unequaled depth and breadth of information on the season under review and its record of the key achievements in theater over a multitude of earlier seasons: detailed listings of all plays produced on and Off Broadway, and hundreds Off Off Broadway, between June 2007 and May 2008; essays by distinguished theater critics and commentators on all 10 of the chosen plays and musicals; listings of the longest-running plays and of the winners of the notable theater awards, in many cases since those awards were established; and the full membership of the Theater Hall of Fame." "But the scope of this book extends far beyond New York, recognizing as it does the vitality and the innovative contributions of resident theaters throughout the country. The invaluable survey of the season around the United States includes the Harold and Mimi Steinberg New Play Award and Citations, administered by the American Theatre Critics Association, plus a directory of more than 250 new play productions and readings at resident theaters everywhere." "As always this compendious book is illustrated with scores of photographs of productions in New York and around the United States." --Book Jacket
