Meisner or Method? That is the question. Well, it may not really be an either/or. It’s often insightful to know both. Although I did not train with Sanford Meisner, I was fortunate enough to study with many teachers, including Wynn Handman, who were Meisner disciples. In this gem, Meisner gives it to you straight on how to live truthfully in the moment under imaginary circumstances. Your library is not complete without this one.

Subject: Starting a drama club with passion
When an English teacher takes on the responsibility for starting a drama club, the question is where to start. The Meisner technique is one answer. This book offers more than a theory of acting. It brings the reader into a Sandy Meisner acting class. Reading the book from cover to cover, I gained insights on how to introduce my students to drama in general and to acting in particular. The exercises are sound; when a student goes off track, Sandy stops, advises, and moves on. This book is a treasure for drama teachers and their students.
