Sequel to TCG's American Set Design, this new book profiles twelve of today's most exciting and influential scenic designers. In extensive interviews they discuss their early influences and experiences in theatre, the practicalities of working as a designer today, how they collaborate with directors and other designers, what they believe distinguishes their work and their thoughts on their careers and the future of stage design. In addition to design for theatres throughout the country, on and Off Broadway, the designers discuss their work in opera, dance, film, TV, music video and graphic arts. A complete chronology of each designer's work is included, and the book is lavishly illustrated with more than 165 examples of the artist's sketches, renderings and models as well as photos of the realized sets - including eight pages in full color. - Back cover.
