First published in 1988, Backstage Handbook is one of the most widely used stagecraft textbooks in the United States, with about 10,000 copies sold every year.
This handy reference book brings together under one cover an incredible variety of information useful to designers, technicians and students who work behind the scenes in theatre, film and television. Its sturdy leatherette binding will stand up to years of constant use.
The third edition updates this popular reference book with new terminology and materials, and adds dozens of new illustrations of grip hardware, film lighting equipment and painting tools. Backstage Handbook includes chapters on Tools, Hardware, Materials, Electrics, Shop Math, Architecture and Theatre. There are hundreds of illustrations, tables and charts which cover everything from the stock sizes and specs of wood screws, to safe working loads for several kinds of rope, to illustrations of twenty-two types of standard lamp bases.

| Customer Rating: | | Great book, has everything you need to know and more about the backstage theatre just a useful book to have handy |
This guide has everything! Even beyond the stage...
| Customer Rating: | | The Backstage Handbook is the most comprehensive guide to technical theatre...and could serve as a reference beyond the stage. I was absolutely amazed at the sheer volume of information the author could fit in such a small book. It really has everything imaginable. It covers tools and machines as well as common production techniques. In addition, the Backstage Handbook covers the math and science needed behind the scenes. Need to know how to make a dodecahedron? This book will tell you how to scribe one inside a circle. The handbook also covers architectural details that are common for most American & European styles. I just received the handbook and my students and I have dubbed it the "bible" because of it's binding, but most definitely the content! This is a must-have for anybody who has a need for knowledge of practical math and science applications. |

| Customer Rating: | | This book is an excellent resource for anyone working behind the scenes as a stage hand or anyone in show business. |
Unusual Resource
| Customer Rating: | | This is an unusual book and I haven't seen another like it. I bought a couple of copies for co-workers in the TV studio I manage. Good reference. |
