Performing 10-Minute Plays with Friends: A guide to do-it-yourself theater

It is great fun when friends get together to perform three or four 10-minute plays. This is very informal "living room theater," so we perform script in hand-no memorizing lines. Props are minimal. Costumes come right out of your closet-unless you feel like doing more. Everybody acts. Anyone can choose to direct. Perhaps you will write your own 10-minute play for the group. This quick-read book is your complete guide. It explains how to find plays, cast your actors, and set up your "stage," whether in your home or in a larger space. The book teaches non-actors how to act and never-tried-it directors how to direct. The book points you to many 10-minute plays and includes nine diverse and fully engaging scripts (also downloadable from the Internet) with which to get started.
