non-theatre practitioners and educators
who may be in a position of evaluating
a technical director. Bellman's work has
been seminal in my own career, helping
me to better understand both the role
and responsibility of the technical director in educational theatre as well as
the administrator in their role to fairly
evaluate performance.

1990s:

Naverson, Ron and Stephen Gilliam.
1990. "A Graduate School Checklist."
Theatre Design & Technology Vol. 26,
No. 1 (Spring): 27-35. I have referred
many a student visiting a graduate
school or a colleague off to a job interview to use this exhaustive set of questions to inform their decision-making
process. While I would never expect
every question to be answered, the topics and the questions provided form an
excellent framework to help evaluate a
school or a candidate's personal fit.
Gill, Patrick. 1991. "A Revised
Standard Graphic Language for
Lighting Design." Theatre Design &
Technology Vol. 27, No. 4 (Fall): 6165. Following the adoption and use of
the first round of graphic standards,
revisions were carefully considered by
member panels within the Institute. An
ongoing pattern of consideration and
revision for most of USITT's recommended best practices continues.

Macie, Tom. 1991. "Guidelines
for Audience Safety and Design for
the Small Flexible Theatre." Theatre
Design & Technology Vol. 28, No. 5
(Fall): 51-53. With so many contemporary theatres and entertainment venues
being developed out of storefronts or
being site specific, Macie's easily read
article reminds the impromptu venue
planner of baseline requirements for
audience comfort and safety.
Bellman, Willard F. 1992.
"Workloads for Theatre in Higher
Education." Theatre Design &
Technology Vol. 28, No. 1 (Winter)
55-56. This policy statement was
developed by a joint task force of the
Association for Theatre in Higher
