| 25 Great Designers Featured in New USITT Publication Late & Great: American Designers 1960-2010 is now available from the USITT bookstore. The volume was released at the 2010 Annual Conference & Stage Expo which included a special book signing where many of the 27 authors involved in the book's creation were able to interact with readers. While designers participate in the creation of art and entertainment productions with the same level of professionalism as performers and directors, their names are less often remembered and their contributions can often recede into the collective memory. This book, edited by Bobbi Owen and published by USITT, keeps the memory and contributions of these designers alive. Designers in the book, and the authors who have profiled them are:
Late & Great: American Designers 1960-2010 helps to raise designers' public profile by honoring 25 designers with a record of their artistry. Twenty-seven authors, all members of USITT, participated in creating this volume which has an introduction by theatre design historian and USITT Fellow Arnold Aronson. Late & Great is the most recent volume in the USITT Monograph Series and is available through the USITT bookstore as well as via Amazon.com.

The next monograph, The Designs of Carrie Robbins, will be published in March 2011 and launched at USITT’s 51st Annual Conference & Stage Expo. | ||
