The Production Manager's Toolkit: Successful Production Management in Theatre and Performing Arts (The Focal Press Toolkit Series) 1st Edition

The book was very informative. I’ve been a production manager for years and I still found it very informative.

This book is clear and concise- an easy to read guide with straightforward language. It is clear from the style of the chapters and the writing, the authors really want you to succeed as a production manager and are laying out the tools you need to do so. I highly recommend this book and the companion website to help production managers at every level, from just starting out to seasoned professional looking for a fresh approach. So incredibly worth the investment.

The first thing I did after interviewing for the PM position at Mosaic was to buy this book! I got the job and I'm finding the book to be an invaluable resource.

A must-have for the beginning or aspiring Production Manager.

Excellent read! Not only for production managers, but any kind of manager. Finally a textbook that's accessible, easy to read, well-written, fun to read, and relatable!

This publication reads like a college term paper -- lots of overview content, but not much depth. It could have benefitted greatly from an editor's review before it went to print. (Within the first couple of pages I found typos and grammatical errors. I was ready to send it back, having only gotten to page 20.). The book does provide a good general overview of what a PM does, and perhaps by the second or third edition the authors will have gained enough experience themselves to see the obvious content shortcomings.

Well written, great material and....it's about time someone published a book of this material, so helpful for newbie production managers.

Awesome examples and practical information. Definitely recommend to my theatre managers!
