Quality monologues and Acting Scenes for both the professional and the aspiring young actor. Volume 2 is a great sequel to the original, providing drama and comedy -- some a bit challenging -- and includes a section of scenes to be performed with an adult. Film and television students, as well as strictly theater students, will enjoy playing these characters of their own age and sensibilities. "Notes From The Coach" are sprinkled throughout the book; these are tips, questions, and suggestions on how to play the scene or the particular character, written by a professional actor and coach. There is also a section of "shorties," enjoyable, not-too-hard to memorize performance or audition pieces that any young actor will enjoy. If you are looking for in-depth scenes that require more than just repeating back-and-forth dialogue, this is the book.
