THE BOOKS
"An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next,
and the schoolmasters of ever afterwards."
– F. Scott Fitzgerald

Scenes for Teens
ISBN 9781497557031
A teaching tool to help simplify and demystify the acting and auditioning process for
teenagers, teachers and parents. The scenes are written for two actors, are gender-neutral,
and intentionally exclude costumes, props, overly-complex stage directions, entrances and exits, and extraneous additional characters. The overall goal is to help young performers practice dialogue in a conversational and realistic manner. This allows actors to focus on
the one-on-one relationship in each scene without distractions.
Appropriate for stage, film, and television training. Features an inspiring foreword by
Kevin Sorbo and a clear introduction to the art and business of professional acting by
the author.
