Business and Legal Forms for Theater, Second Edition (Business and Legal Forms Series)

This book is amazing! Recently I was doing a theatre production and needed some contracts. This book was easy to understand, the CD made it so easy to get the contracts I needed in doc format and alter them as I needed.Much of this book is based on Union workers, but again can be easily altered. My only quibble is the writers contract. I wish there was a better writers contract, something more simple. The one in this book will definitely cover most if not all the bases.For the price, this book is totally worth having around. Especially if you are working in production

This book provides a nice starting point for artists to use when engaging in negotiations for their work. He does a nice job explaining legal terms and the reasoning behind each clause. However, I find the contracts quite slanted in the artist's favor so if you are looking for contracts to use as the producer know that you'll probably want to adapt these further and have your own lawyer look them over before sending to an artist for signature.

They go hand and hand. Good book to have if you have the Business and Legal Guide.
