The Actor's Way

"This is required reading for anyone passionate about the theater, acting, and the teaching of the craft. The struggles of a young actor, the actor/director relationship, the challenges of teaching art in universities, ageism, and techniques for teaching realistic acting are all communicated through a fictional series of letters between Andy, an anguished young New York City actor, and Alice, his Quaker grade-school acting teacher. This compelling story of two lonely artists who motivate each other across a divide of years will not only inspire theatre people and teachers, but other artists and readers of all kinds.
