Could an actor, director, designer, stage manager, or administrator design a learning program for themselves that would promote their own growth as artists?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this provocative how-to, retired theater professor Scott Walters (author of \u003cem\u003eBuilding A Sustainable Theater)\u003c\/em\u003e argues not only that such a thing is possible, but that doing so has many advantages over the traditional route.
