5.0 out of 5 stars Great for teachers, December 14, 2007

By	Jan H. Wolfe "Theatrician" (El Paso, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am always searching for scenes or short plays for student actors and this gives a great variety of characters and situations with which to work. Some are even good enough to produce in a festival setting. All are very short, which works well in a classroom setting.

This anthology of one-act plays has a wide variety of styles and formats. From comedy to drama. Women and men. It is very helpful when trying to research a new character for an audition because the character have a wide range of ages and backgrounds.
