Preface Provides Broad, Single-Source Coverage in the Entertainment Field Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television (CTFT) is a biographical reference series designed to provide students, educators, researchers, librarians, and general readers with information on a wide range of entertainment figures. Unlike single-volume reference works that focus on a limited number of artists or on a specific segment of the entertainment field, CTFT is an ongoing publication that includes entries on individuals active in the theatre, film, and television industries. Before the publication of CTFT, information-seekers had no choice but to consult several different sources in order to locate the in-depth biographical and credit data that makes CTFT's one-stop coverage the most comprehensive available about the lives and work of performing arts professionals.
Scope CTFT covers not only performers, directors, writers, and producers, but also behind-the-scenes specialists such as designers, managers, choreographers, technicians, composers, executives, dancers, and critics from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and the world. With some 300 entries in CTFT 20, the series now provides biographies on approximately 8,750 people involved in all aspects of theatre, film, and television. CTFT gives primary emphasis to people who are currently active. New entries are prepared on major stars as well as those who are just beginning to win acclaim for their work. CTFT also includes entries on personalities who have died but whose work commands lasting interest.
Compilation Methods CTFT editors identify candidates for inclusion in the series by consulting biographical dictionaries, industry directories, entertainment annuals, trade and general interest periodicals, newspapers, and online databases. Entries are compiled from published biographical sources and then mailed to the listees or their agents for review and verification.
Revised Entries To ensure CTFT's timeliness and comprehensiveness, entries from previous volumes, as well as from Gale Research's Who's Who in the Theatre, are updated for individuals who have been active enough to require revision of their earlier biographies. Such individuals will merit revised entries as often as there is substantial new information to provide. Obituary notices for deceased entertainment personalities already listed in CTFT are also published.
Accessible Format Makes Data Easy to Locate CTFT entries, modeled after those in Gale's highly regarded Contemporary Authors series, are written in a clear, readable style designed to help users focus quickly on specific facts. The following is a summary of the information found in CTFT sketches: ENTRY HEADING: the form of the name by which the listee is best known.

SIDELIGHTS Don Gregory earlier told CTFT: "The pursuit of excellence, the chance to work with some of the most creative people of our time, the opportunity to be part of the ongoing process of theatre and what good theatre can mean to everyone, to leave a legacy of a body of work which would live far beyond me—all this provides the motivation to produce. Regarding causes, the only subjects that interest me are the ones that are not temporary, such as the quest for cures for disease. Political causes in general seem too expedient for me. "I believe the lack of education is the cause of most of the world's ills/'*
