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. |
