Perfect for young aspiring actors

My 12-year-old boy, who has an agent, was asked to come in and perform a 2-4 minute monolog. The library had material much too difficult, but this book is perfect for teens and has topics that they can relate to. A wonderful book and now I want to own it for his "future career."

THE BEST BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The book Get in the Act is a great book. It is perfect for teens or young aduts who like to act and enjoy drama. It has plays, dialogues, and monulogues they can relate to. My friend and I did a couple of the skits and preformed them to our friends and family. We had such a fun time with this book. We have renewed it 5 times from the library already. Thanks this is a great book!

"Gives teenagers a chance to laugh at themselves & feel good

This is a great book that I recommend any and every teacher should own, it is great for discussions, drama, shows, and others. Again "A book that gives teenagers a chance to laugh at themselves and still feel good about it. Not a easy task!!". This book handles issues important to teens, the perils of becoming a adult with topics like drinking and driving, teenage parties, smoking, alcoholic parents and much more and it sets all this to a fun and upbeat tone!
