Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up-Like the other entries in this series, this volume offers young actors fresh audition material written by an acting coach who works with kids. Stevens presents more than 30 short comedy and drama scenes, all written for two actors with an even mix of boy-boy, girl-girl, and boy-girl casts. The contemporary urban and suburban settings coupled with culturally neutral names allow for racial and ethnic diversity. Older high school students, however, may find the humor in the comedy sketches a bit juvenile. Solutions come together too easily in a very short time frame in the dramatic pieces, and this may come off as unrealistic to some of the more sophisticated readers who would be interested in this book. For the most part, though, the scenes will be enjoyable to young dramatists and their teachers, and most leave room for students to be creative in their interpretations. A useful section at the end includes interviews with Hollywood insiders, acting exercises, a glossary of industry terms, and a bibliography of plays any serious teen actor should read. Libraries that serve large or growing drama programs would certainly want to consider purchasing this title.-Toni D. Moore, Simon Kenton High School, Independence, KY

From Booklist

Gr. 7-10. Stevens, an actor and acting coach, has collected a neat selection of scenes to be performed by two teen actors. Part of the Hollywood 101 series, the bright paperback includes 23 comedy scenes and 10 dramatic scenes, none running longer than four pages, with an equal number of boy-girl, boy-boy, and girl-girl pairings. Teens interested in acting, directing, or writing will find the scenes immediately useful for performance, practice, or study. There are a few light sf takeoffs, but most scenes are set in the U.S. today and they revolve around such "G-rated" subjects as school, friendship, dating, and family. More sophisticated readers may find them a bit too simplistic, but, nonetheless, the collection is good practice stuff for those interested in performing arts. Brief interviews with the casting agents for Felicity and The Practice and with a television writer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer contain basic advice on how teens can get involved in showbiz. Includes a bibliography of plays, a glossary, and acting exercises. Karen Simonetti

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Practice, February 13, 2006
My daughter has practiced with the scenes many times. They are current, have a wide range and are fun to do.
She has gone from being only one type of character to being comfortable in doing a wide range of characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great book for any actors..., January 7, 2006
By C. Cheng (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really helpful book if you're looking for scenes for young actors. There's a good share of comedic and dramatic scenes. I was looking for a couple to bring to class and this book came in very handy. A good scene book for the beginner or pro.
