The following is a Bibliography that I'm still in the process of assembling. Since the topic of Theatre Architecture is fairly small to begin with, this list is getting to be fairly comprehensive.

Much appreciation for help with this Bibliography goes to
Chris P. Jaehnig, Alec Stoll, Mark Allen Berg, and Adam Shalleck. Thanks!
If you have anything to add, especially titles that don't appear here, please let me know. webmaster at masck.com
