This book made my head hurt, but also it was the philosophy of theatre, two things I love to study, so it was a good time. It made me feel smart.

I learned so much. SO much. I think this book should be required for all university students. It teaches about how to be better human beings, and how theater and the arts teach us to be better human beings and SO MUCH MORE!
This book also teaches so many gospel principles, even if the author isn't LDS. A really fascinating read, that also makes you think.

(Although I still think film is a form of theater, even if he does bring up some good points, hence the reason I say "form" of theater).
