Stage/Set Design

What's involved in putting on a public performance? Who are the playwrights, lyricists and score writers? Who designs the costumes and sets?

What do you need to know about setting up a professional or amateur performance? How do you get permission to perform a drama or musical? What is the copyright situation? What is NODA?

This section is always looking for new writers and if you feel you have something to contribute please feel free to contact Frances Spiegel, Topic Editor at Modern World Theatre.
