Forty-two selections from thirty-eight of the best new plays, culled from around the country, address the major trends and conflicts of today through revealing glimpses of society as we know it. Scenes are varied in tone and content, with humor, pathos, reflection, poignancy, angst, and other qualities for dramatic expression. Scenes are short for auditioning ease -- no longer than ten minutes. This drama text is a must for every auditioning actor, theatre student, or drama aficionado.
