Product Description:
A One-Of-A-Kind
Acting Aid With
Young Talent In Mind
In drama classes and at auditions, young actors have continually had to resort to performing roles written for much older men and women -- roles that are often difficult for them to identify with or to fully understand. But this innovative scenebook gives younger performers the opportunity to portray characters their own age.
From the classics to the finest in contemporary drama -- from Shakespeare, Shaw, and Chekov to Miller, Williams, and Kopit -- here are sparkling theatrical gems that are perfect for class or theater group study and performance. Complete with thorough character and plot descriptions, Scenes for Young Actors is an absolute must for the talented young beginner and professional alike.

As a middle school theatre teacher, it is often hard to find suitable scenes for my students. This book, however, offered a few nice scenes for them to do. Yes, much of the material in this book is way over their heads, but there are still charming scenes I know my students really enjoyed from plays such as: "Heidi," "Pride and Prejudice," and "West Side Story." Not the ultimate book for middle school, but I'm sure excellent for high school students.

It's great when we - as teachers - have great tools to work with. It makes things so much easier. This book is one of those indispensible tools that anyone dealing with young actors MUST have in handy. Scenes are so important in classes. Couldn't work without them. Sometimes, though, they may be banal. This is not the case. They are classics, and classics are never banal. My only hope is to see a second edition of this book, perhaps with more international and eventually contemporary stuff. Ah... I was forgetting... I would LOVE to translate this book for Italians!

I find this book to be a very good variety of emotional scenes. I recommend it highly.
