All The World's a Stage.
Unfortunately, most scene study anthologies target only young actor. These collections overlook the mature performer, a large and growing group in acting classes, workshops and community theaters. Now drama teacher and lecturer Lorraine Cohen,, the creator of Scenes for Young Actors and Monologues for Young Actors, and Dr. Richard A. Imundo, founder and artistic director of the New Dimension Theatre Studio, Inc. and its acting school, share their theatrical expertise with an indispensable collection of fifty scenes for men and women in their forties, fifties and beyond.
Selected from the rich, wide landscape of the world stage, these varied scenes offer a broad range of emotion challenge to serve the mature actor: from the high drama of kin Lear and On Golden Pond to the farcical antics of the waltz of the Toreadors and Moon Over Buffalo. each includes a detailed introduction by the authors within the play, and the play in theater history.
Ideal for senior citizen groups, adult education classes, theater workshops and community theaters, Scenes for Mature Actors is an essential handbook for all older actors.
