ACTING TEACHERS OF AMERICA:
A VITAL TRADITION
by Ronald Rand & Luigi Scorcia
foreword by J. Michael Miller
"All through this masterful book, one question is often poised: Why should an actor study the craft of acting? The probing interviews not only answer the questions posed, but carefully lead the actors into answers that will help their careers grow. A valuable, insightful book that every actor should read." – Eli Wallach
“I would recommend Mr. Rand’s book to anyone seeking a life
in the theatre.” – Harold Prince
“Too often the work of these teachers goes unacknowledged, except by the actors who need and love them. Here, it is great to see these teachers get the attention they deserve.” – Joanne Woodward
"As a sometime acting teacher, I have become acquainted with the difficulties this work presents. The book is enlightening, entertaining and important. Who better to present it than Ronald Rand, one of the great, dedicated professionals of the theatre." – Alec Baldwin
