Children in Theatre: From the audition to working in professional theatre : A guide for children and their parents

The bestselling guide for children and their parents, revised and updated for 2018 with new legislation and laws for performing children.

Performing children have a very special existence which sometimes sets them apart from their peers. Parents are often excluded from this world but are expected to support them all the way. There is very little authoritative advice on how to cope and what to expect. This book will help children and their parents navigate their way through all of this: to advise, guide, inform and demystify the wonderful world of live theatre.
