Dedication
I dedicate this edition to my students at the Theatre Academy at Los Angeles City College and all the people at colleges and seminars who have sat through my rambling and musing. To Paul Dexter, who gave such valuable suggestions, new material, and dedication to the continuation of this series. Finally, as before, to Trudie, my life partner, who puts up with all my time away. All my love.
