Directing for Stage and Screen »

Marian F. Monta and Jack R. Stanley developed the theatre-television-film program at The University of Texas Pan American where they both serve as professors in the Communication Department. They have collaborated on a number of projects, including plays, films and television productions. In addition, each has done a considerable number of writing and directing projects individually.

The authors, who have worked in all three media, illustrated how the principles of one medium relate to the other two.
