Product Description

For children from 7 to 13, here is a treasure chest of excerpts from a rich and exciting variety of sources. Scenes and monologues come from such plays and films as The Diary of Anne Frank, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and The Secret Garden; and most appropriately, from writings by children themselves. Edited by a faculty member of the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute's Young People's Program in New York, the collection reflects Kerry Muir's years of experience teaching and directing young people and her keen sense of the kind of dramatic material that inspires and motivates them to learn and grow creatively -- to explore their imaginations and to build on their own experiences and emotions. Ideal for regular classroom use as well as for drama school programmes.

I Luv This Book
I was in 2 of the scenes fetured in this book and saw several other(my theater group had a montage production). I have also seen some of the full plays the scenes were taken from. I would highly recommend this book to drama teachers of students anywhere from 9-14. These are the cuteest plays, especially Charlie Brown, Lemon Sisters,and Brighton Beach Memoirs. Get it!!
