5.0 out of 5 stars A compilation of twenty-three short, one-act plays organized into three major categories, November 14, 2005

This review is from: On Stage! Short Plays for Acting Student: Short One-Act Plays for Acting Practice (Paperback)

Strongly recommended for aspiring actors of all ages and both genders, On Stage: Short Plays For Acting Students is a compilation of twenty-three short, one-act plays organized into three major categories (monologs, duologs, and comedy sketches) which are especially suited for solo and small cast performances. Ideal for drama school classrooms or actors workshops, the plays comprising On Stage offer balanced parts for ages ranging from adolescence to middle age. Contemporary characters and situations, minimum costuming and staging, as well as a variety of light drama, serious drama, and comedy satire are hallmarks of these one-act scenarios.
