At Play: Teaching Teenagers Theater
$16.00
I've been teaching theatre for over 10 years now. This book is the one book that I carry with me to all of my classes. It is a great reference, not only with teaching theatre games, but in creating an ensemble, dealing with teenager issues, and creating theatre that is meaningful and powerful. It is the best investment I've made in a while, and I've been recommending it to everyone.

Sony HTSS360 5.1 channel Home Theater System (Black)
$349.99
I've been researching Home Theaters in a Box for a few months, and this once is exactly what I wanted. I needed a cheap 5.1 system that I could use for cable TV, Xbox 360, and blu-ray, and this is perfect because of the 3 HDMI inputs. It sounds GREAT for games and movies.

Pros: PRICE, HDMI inputs, very easy to set up, good sound quality, small speakers that are easy to hang, slick look

Cons: Proprietary speaker connections, speakers could possibly be lacking for a very large room, customization is a little confusing at first

The Necessity of Theater: The Art of Watching and Being Watched
$27.95
What a wonderful, wonderful book!

If you've ever been interested in, thought or wondered about, studied, participated in, etc., any kind of theater, then you will want to read this book.

I think that reading and thinking about this book is going to help me to improve how I live my life, make me more comfortable in my skin and my situation, and whether or not I ever go onstage again.

I waited a long time for the Kindle edition to come out. It was listed in the Kindle store but had no price, was not yet available. As soon as it was finally available with an actual price, I was mortified to see that it was on sale for $31 !!! no way! then I waited a week and came back -- now it's $13, which is still a tad high but is much closer to the mark!

I think someone accidentally transposed the digits when it was first priced?

what an event of theater, observing this, and it being observed...

Vantage Point SATS05B Satellite Speaker Mounts for Home Theater Systems - Black (5-Pack)
$89.99
The Vantage Point SATS05B five-pack is really an excellent value if you have satellite speakers which aren't too heavy. They are completely articulated so that you have the maximum range of orientation, and they hold well. I imagine they may even reliably hold speakers heavier than their rating, but I don't think I'd want to push it much considering that the vibration from the speakers themselves will eventually tend to loosen settings. No problems with the size of the set screws or the hex-wrench needed, unlike at least one other similar product which sports undersize fasteners and resulting holding deficiencies. I would have given this product five stars if it would hold a little more weight, but it's not rated for more weight so there is no misrepresentation on the part of the manufacturer.
