Use the search fearure: enter books - but choose SUBJECT ONLY. You'll find gads of threads to satisfy your post.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

THE THEATER ART OF BORIS ARONSON with an intro by Frank Rich.

GHOST LIGHT by Frank Rich. I had issues with his show reviews but these books are both brilliant.

The Season, by William Goldman (of The Princess Bride and All the President's Men fame) is the best book on the theatre I've ever read.

A real fun read is THE MAKING OF NO NO NANNETTE giving the reader an inside look at the bitchiness and power plays of producer Cyma Rubin and her special treatment of her talented daughter Loni Ackerman. It's a fascinating look at what went on behind the scenes of this production.
