Worth Owning and Staging

I took this book out from my local Library and really enjoyed "Underneath the Lintel", one of the best 1 man plays I've read. Also the 3 scenes in a Funeral Home (I forget the title) was excellent and had been read on NPR by professional Actors such as Laura San Giacomo and Rue McLanahan. I hope to produce these both locally. Great material for Actors to use as Audition pieces and fun reading for anyone. I have served on the Play Selection Commitee for the local Community Theater and most of this material is better than a lot of the plays submitted for this season. Also, it's better than most of the monologue books at the Library. Enjoy!

Great Resource

As a casting director, I have to say that this is one of the best collections of scenes for actors to use for auditions. Getting my attention after a long day seeing the same old thing is difficult, and the scenes in this book are different and exciting enough to really pique my interest.
