This theatre text's monologues are highly original works not found in other published versions. All are from recently produced plays from both established and emerging new writers. The fifty selections are for actors ten to twenty-four years of age, suitable for competitive auditions, forensics, oral interpretation, or acting exercises. The monolog collection is divided equally between male and female characters, with various pieces for minority actors. These monologs address today's major trends and conflicts by revealing glimpses of society as we know it. Includes the work of forty contemporary playwrights. A must for any auditioning actor or theatre student. The monologs range in length from one minute to ten minutes.
These royalty-free scenes are laugh-out-loud funny and clever, to boot Based on familiar nursery rhyme characters, Ewen put a comedic spin on their situations. For instance, ESPN newscasters are interviewing Jack out at the track where he does his training for candlestick jumping. The 20 scenes are evenly split between five-minute scenes for 2 to 3 characters and ten-minute scenes for 5 to 20 characters. Most of the characters may be played by either gender, and several scenes can be expanded to accommodate an entire classroom. Unlike most scene books, the table of contents even indicates the cast size and genders along with a one line summary. Easy to use and fun for all ages, you'll love the colorful characters and creative situations in these short, hysterical scenes.
Whether you are a seasoned drama director or a beginner, you will find this book to be an invaluable tool kit of aid and assistance Written specifically for the middle school or high school drama director, this book tells everything you need to know to produce a play, from administrative detail and play selection to the actual performance before an audience. This is not intended as a manual or a comprehensive study of stagecraft but rather as a collection of suggestions and vignettes of personal experience. Nineteen chapters cover everything from rehearsal schedules to budgets to hair and makeup. It's just possible, though, you'll love the additional resources even more - 20 pages of various reproducible forms to use and hand out, followed by an extensive glossary of theatrical terms and a bibliography of additional resources.
Finally a collection of duets from the best-selling author of Winning Monologs for Young Actors and her granddaughter. These humorous and thoughtful scenes present distinctive viewpoints on issues meant to provoke and inspire discussion as well as to entertain. Most roles can be played by either gender. The short length of each scene makes it easy for students to memorize their lines. Sample titles include How Not to Get a Job, Cutesy-Wutesy Doggie-Woggie, The Alibi, My Rotten Roommate, Prince Not-So-Charming, The Tooth Fairy Conspiracy, Mall Survey, Hair Salon Gossip, That's How Rumors Start, Backstage Pass, and Goody, Two Shoes. Fifty-four scenes in all. For use in a wide variety of settings, from speech contests and auditions to acting practice or comedy revue shows. A valuable resource for teachers and theatre libraries.

If you're hoping to find that one simple high school text that tells it all for your beginning theatre class, then look no further! Marsh Cassady has taught theatre at the high school and college level for many years and is currently a director, playwright, and award-winning author whose 20 books are used extensively in schools. Fifteen chapters grouped into five sections present a complete overview of the art of theatre (theatre styles, genres, and structures), directing (interpreting a script, casting, and rehearsing), design (scenery, lighting, costumes, and makeup), acting (imagination, improvisation, body, voice, character analysis), and the history of theatre. The chapters are a good length for student reading, and abundant photos, diagrams, and illustrations help explain key concepts. This classroom textbook also includes several plays and scenes to allow students to 'flesh out' characters and gain perspective of various types of dramatic works from great playwrights such as Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Wilde, as well as several contemporary writers.
These seventy-four scenes are compiled from plays by minority playwrights, each designed to teach students about cultural diversity. The book presents scenes for acting and directing practice as a stepping stone to the study of minority writing. Instead of isolated cuttings from a large number of plays, several scenes from single plays are included allowing for a more comprehensive view of the playwright's style and message. Scenes range from less than two minutes to ten or more minutes, and each is preceded by background information and discussion/analysis to help develop characterizations. Each play, playwright, and minority category are examined from a historical and cultural perspective.
This collection of acting games is different than other books of theatre activities because it's for individual performers. If you are a serious student at any level who wants to delve further into the craft of acting, this book allows you to explore at your own pace. Teachers will also love this book so they can individualize exercises for students based on the specific students' needs. Twenty-one chapters, each with five or six activities, help individuals focus on specific skills they want to develop as they move forward in their work as an actor. Each activity defines at least two purposes and offers variables beyond the exercise so it can be utilized in another way. Discussion questions also allow the individual to break down each game and make further findings. Each exercise offers a practical benefit for actors to explore imagination, concentration, voice, sensory awareness, characterization, prop exploration, auditions, physical attention and performance, plus a dozen more.
What brings the past alive better than stories performed by live actors? The 25 plays in this collection are short theatrical pieces that bring to life moments in American history from the early nineteenth century to the 1970s. Most of the characters in these plays are not famous figures or even factual people. They are ordinary Americans who did not make history, but lived it. Each play runs between eight and ten minutes, and cast sizes range from two to eight. The plays can be read aloud, simply staged in the classroom, or fully staged with the help of complete character, set, and costume descriptions for each scene. Each play also includes a background description of the historical situation of the plot as well as an aftermath description that explains what happened after the dramatized event. Ideal for middle or high school drama classes wanting relatable period pieces or for American history classes wanting to make past events and times real for today's students.
This entertaining collection of 24 character-driven scenes will guide teens to make positive choices in their lives while developing their acting skills. Each selection presents a realistic scenario that explores multiple character-building values, such as acceptance, compassion, fairness, forgiveness, generosity, gratitude, honesty, loyalty, perseverance, and self-discipline. Each scene is then followed by student-tested discussion questions that can spark conversation about values, personal responsibility, and relationships. Delve into a diverse assortment of thoughtful topics presented in an engaging, lighthearted fashion. Scenes range from 5 to 10 minutes in length with cast sizes of 2 to 7. Use this book in any group setting to encourage meaningful, values-based dialogue. There's no other scenebook like this to help your students develop their own moral compass.
