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.

but is geared towards younger performers – ages 6 to 13.

 

The intent is to train young actors to develop conversational speaking and listening skills for stage and screen. The book features a highly  personal foreword  by Disney's Anita Barone and a broad range of scene material.
