New softcover edition! Original cover art and unabridged text. Carol, who tasted her first success in holding an audience in a high-school play, and Julia Gregg, a classmate as stage struck as herself, join Phyllis Marlowe's apprentice group in New York. In this setting, Carol beings to learn about herself as an actress. Phyllis Marlowe's criticism of her first performance is hard to take, but not half as painful as Mike Horodinsky's ruthless verdict. Mike is one member of the apprentice group whom Carol thoroughly dislikes. Their antagonism flames into open warfare when Mike almost succeeds in getting Carol away from the stage altogether. However, when the real test comes, these young students meet it with such ingenuity and perseverance that even Carol and Mike forget their differences in the common bond of the theater.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent series,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Carol Goes Backstage (Carol Page Series, Volume 1) (Perfect Paperback)
I found this series by accident and was delighted.Each volume contains good lessons on stagecraft and a charming picture of the world of the theater aspirant during this era. One thing that I like especially is the emphasis on self-discipline and constant effort to improve skills. This is not your silly modern book that pretends to be about a theater, sport, or music, but is really about girl giggles, fits of indignation, shrill rivalries over boys, and group hugs. I have read all four "Carol" books and wish there were more. I wouldn't hesitate to buy all four for any young person who is interested in the theater.
