They further…

When the lights come up on College of Menominee Nation's theater productions they illuminate the stories that students want to tell.

Hamilton, James R. – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2009
In "The Art of Theater," the author proposes and explains a claim that many theater people hold true in some form but have defended in a manner that has had almost no success outside discussions among themselves. The claim proposed is that, in an unqualified way, theater is a form of art. By that the author means theatrical performances are "what…

Thom, Paul – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2009
James Hamilton has written a book on the philosophy of theater that is admirable for its analytic clarity and for the wide knowledge of theatrical practice that it brings to bear on philosophical questions.
