Description

Book Synopsis
Examines the history of acting pedagogy and performance practice in the United States, and their debts to industrial organisation and philosophy. Ranging from the late 19th century through the end of the 20th, the book recontextualizes the history of theatrical technique in light of the embrace of industrialization in US culture and society.

Trade Review
Interchangeable Parts makes a persuasive case for the acting profession's increasing attention to notions of efficiency and clarity, and will make a useful contribution to studies of acting theory. The author's substantial archival research allows illuminating connections among acting practitioners whose work is often overlooked or, in other instances, framed in narratives that are by now overly familiar." - Cynthia Baron, Bowling Green State University
