Her books have been translated into Swedish, German, and Portuguese. She died in 1994.Paul Sills is Viola Spolin's son and the founding director of Chicago's Second City and of Story Theater.

    Otroligt välskriven och enkel att förstå. Hon riktar sig till alla inom teater och drama från pedagogen till skådespelaren. Full med fantastiska övningar till barn, amatörer och erfarna. En bok man bara måste ha!
