Topic: Character Development |

Can you suggest book titles devoted to the discussion of character development? I'm aware of: -- Boffo by Chrstopher Thisse -- Theatrical Magic (a chapter) by John Pyka If you have either of these books, please do share your thoughts on them. Your signposts will be appreciated... |
|

THE ultimate book on the subject by the master of this subject is Max Howard’s “Creating Theatrical Magic.” |
|

Easy Street by Ann-Elizabeth Shapera. Available on Lulu.com for about $8 e-book (print also available). |

Thank you both. rhettbryson... I've looked for Creating Theatrical Magic but can't find it anywhere. Can you signpost me to a copy? |
|

I would suggest contacting Max directly: http://www.thehabitofexcellence.com/Contact.php rhett |

I would also recommend A Book by Anton (to be clear, the title of the book is "a book"). Fantastic piece! |

Nice to see this conversation is still alive. Although my former character died of Covid, I have recently returned to acting, and still specialize in theatrical magic and wrote a book with an amazing chapter on character development that started as a discussion here on the Café! Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things... |
