This guidebook investigates the best practices for renovating historic outdoor theaters while preserving the visitors' experience of the landscape. The need for this guide stems from a core dilemma of historic theater renovation: visitors and performers cherish these venues because they intertwine the experience of the landscape and the performance, but at the same time they desire modern comforts, conveniences and technology that can undermine the very landscape experience that draws them.
