Acting Scenes for Kids and Tweens: 60 Original Comedy and Drama Scenes for Young Actors

The scenes are clean, thoughtful and present well on stage. The topics are relevant for today.

Was hoping this would be a good resource to use with my elementary students and save me some time… but no. The skits are way too short and they all seem incomplete. Way too simple. I write better scripts for my students myself.

Not great! Far better books out there.

Scenes are easy to read for Junior students (grades 4-6). Dialogues are okay. Comedic ones are not that funny. Has the word “stupid” in some of the dialogues which isn’t appropriate for A Catholic school.

My teenage daughter and I use this book and laugh out loud with the crazy comedy scenes. We are new-found fans of this author and also enjoy (and learn a lot from ) his Amazon blog posts, which are very thoughtful, informative, and jam-packed with good, creative ideas about the entertainment industry. This book is just phenomenal. Author has the rare gift of being able to speak to the young actors in training without talking down to them, and that, I believe, is why my teen daughter and I so thoroughly enjoy practicing with this book of short, quirky comedy and drama scenes for pre-teen and younger performers.
