This book explores how theater artistry melds the forces of collaboration and leadership, igniting creativity from the first spark of an idea to the climactic curtain call.

It throws the spotlight on the dynamic interplay of roles, covering the collaboration between producer, director, playwright, actor, designer, stage manager, dramaturg, and stage crew. Each chapter illuminates various strategies and insights, revealing how you can harness these transformative techniques on your own journey, crafting spellbinding productions through the power of collective creativity. In this new edition, Joel Veenstra builds upon, updates, and expands on Robert Cohen's original concepts in the following ways:

- Updated case studies and examples drawn from the combined 75 years of professional theatre-making experience of Cohen and Veenstra, as well as insights from their extensive network of collaborators
- Revised flow and scope to include the collaborator's worldview, specific practices for creating collaborative milieu from the start, and conflict resolution tools
- Modernized with new research, perspectives, and insights from leadership experts like Bren? Brown and Simon Sinek, and team-based organizations like Google and The Second City
- Refreshed exercises to enhance practical understanding and application of the concepts
- Expanded lens for applications beyond the realm of theatre-making to any collaboration
- Revised appendices with recommended digital resources
