12 ONE ACT PLAYS
by: Anthony Montes Book of New 12 One Act Plays. As an Actor, I realized that if I wanted to have the Right to Act, I would have to Write to Act. And so I have. I also teach Acting and in all my classes I have my students write to create opportunities for themselves. I practice what I teach and to date, I have written over 40 Plays and 11 Screenplays. I have gone from Stage to Screen with two of my Full-Length Plays. With my play, THE LAST NIGHT INN, I had the joy of first doing it on stage and then having it made into a film that I got to Co-star in. In my play, SUBWAY SUICIDE, I got to live out on stage and then I wrote it into a Screenplay, THE LAST TRAIN, in which I Co-Star. Both of my feature films can be rented on Amazon Prime. |
FROM ME TO YOU
by: Anthony Montes Three thousand five hundred and forty days ago, a psychic told me to write a letter to myself every day for twenty-one days. Years before I kept a journal and I would write at the end of my day. At one point in my life, I decided to read them. It was depressing. It seemed that for the most part, I only wrote about what went wrong during my day. I did as the psychic instructed and I found that I had never felt more positive. It is from these letters to myself that these quotes were born, as well as my other five quote books. Every morning, the first thing that I do as soon as I wake up, is write a letter to myself. They all begin the same way. I start by writing the date and then I write how many days it’s been and then, “Dear Anthony, “ or sometimes, “Dearest Anthony.” Then I just go wherever my thoughts take me. I have a notebook and a pen by my bed so, whenever I wake up, even if it’s very early and I don’t feel like it, I turn on the light and I write. |
36 ONE ACT PLAYS
by: Anthony Montes I have wanted to be an Actor since I was 5. I worked at it and Loved it more that anyone I know and would see others getting opportunities, getting work that I felt I should have gotten. So, in order to ensure that I would get to work, I started my own group, The Artist Theatre Group. It was here that I also began teaching, so that I would have a community of Artist that worked the same way and held the same principles. I knew that being an Actor wan’t enough. If I felt I had the Right to Act, I would have to Write, to Act. I have always been (I think) a good story teller, so I began writing plays to give me the opportunity to get on Stage. This book contains the first 36 One Act Plays that I have written. As an Acting teacher, I see may students doing the same scenes over and over again. This will be a perfect book for all those Acting Students that are looking for new material to work that no one has scene before. This book of plays contains Comedies, Drama's, Fantasy and Black Comedies. I hope that the readers of this book enjoy reading these plays as much as i loved Writing and Acting in them. |
