Why Is Helen Krich Chinoy Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Helen Krich Chinoy was an American theater historian who documented the role of women in United States theater. Biography Helen Krich was born on September 25, 1922, in Newark, New Jersey. She was awarded bachelor's and master's degrees from New York University, where she majored in English. She later earned her doctorate, also in English, from Columbia University. Together with Toby Cole, she co-authored the 1949 book Actors on Acting in 1949 which was a collection of pieces about the theater from Ancient Greece to the modern stage. She wrote an essay to introduce the book, which has been used over the years as a college textbook. She and Cole wrote the 1953 compilation Directors on Directing as a followup to their first book, providing a historical perspective on the director's craft, primarily using their own writings. These two books on acting and directing, which have remained in print since their first publication, were described as "her most influential work".
