Remarkable woman; very entertaining book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I have taken a few workshops with Tina Packer, and was delighted to find this biography (which limits itself mostly to her professional life). Any woman who is thinking about starting a theater company should definitely read this book. Packer's persistence is inspiring, while her many practical struggles (fights for grant money, real estate woes)are alternately funny and cautionary. The book is engaging to read (it indulges in many digressions--like the ghosts in Edith Wharton's home), and valiantly tries to resist worshipping Tina (impossible for anyone who has ever met her). I read the whole thing over a weekend.
