"I am very excited about applying the theater techniques found in this book. Viola Spolin puts forth a very systematic (yet fun) method for learning to act and improvise. Before reading this book I was convinced that some people are natural actors and others are not. Now I believe that even I can learn to act. The book is mostly geared to directors of improvisational theater, and to some extent directors of scripted theater. There is at least a whole chapter on working with children in theater. That sounds like a great deal of fun as well. Gee, maybe I should buy a couple more copies so each of directors can have one, I'm that enthused. It's both practical, and individual in that she explains how you the director can tailor the exercises to specific issues your actors are facing. The exercises are basically theater games, which Spolin is justly famous for."
