The Invisible Theater: An Experiment in Group Stage Presentation

This book tells the story of what happened when a small group of adventurous and aware men joined together, and each Fall for a period of 10 consecutive years, presented a series theatrical productions, with themes based on the life experience of maleness and masculinity, and then staged them in a relatively small venue in Lose Angeles, California, in front of a male audience which immediately grew from an initial 25 to more than 100. Most of the presenters and directors were not professional actors, or directors, or theatre people.

This is a collection of programs, pictures and anecdotes of what turned out to be an immensely creative engagement for all the men who participated either as actors or even as audience.
