Have you ever found yourself at a cast party, backstage during rehearsal, or at a local watering hole after a long rehearsal? Or, really, at any gathering of theatre folk? At the heart of the conversation, there's always a story.
People who love theatre love stories-after all, isn't theatre itself rooted in storytelling?
In 80 essays by 40 authors who share a deep love of theatre, MARQUEE MOMENTS - Essays by Theatre Lovers captures their stories: the moments they find worthy of remembering and sharing.
This anthology gathers those memorable moments in five sections:
- From the Start - first-time theatre and Broadway experiences
- From the Seat - perspectives from the audience
- From the Stage - the actor's point of view
- From the Staff - insights from those who make theatre happen
- From the Rest - reflections on lives lived in and around the theatre
The authors of Marquee Moments are not Broadway headliners, trending director/choreographers, or social media celebrities. They are theatre people-actors, creatives, technicians, and theatregoers who love and sustain the art form. Some have had careers in theatre, but most are the unsung heroes who pull ropes backstage, chase props, sew hems. They are the 16-year-olds with sequined fingernails negotiating a power tool for the first time. They are the girl dads trading corporate suits for paint-splattered jeans on a Friday night. They are the adults finally answering the call to audition after years of wondering "what if?" They are the people in the audience, buying tickets and keeping theatre alive.
And they all have stories to tell.
Explore this eclectic collection of moments-funny, poignant, and magical-and perhaps rediscover a few of your own along the way.
