Often written and produced for touring and festivals, plays for one performer offer unusual challenges and benefits for both sides of the theatrical event: actor, and audience. The plays in this volume come from writers across the country, and have been road-tested in a variety of venues, from main stage to fringe, and other stops along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is most exciting about a play for one actor? Often, it's the wonderfully intense storytelling that takes place, sometimes it's a bravura performance. Many actors create their own one-person scripts, which are then extremely portable and self-sufficient for touring. Sometimes a one-person play arises from a personal experience -- a kind of living, breathing memoir -- one that the artist shapes and hones to express an important discovery or a burning question. In all cases, solo plays draw their audiences deep inside a theatrical expression, an individual vision. Laugh, cry, get angry, be moved by the strong stories in this exciting collection. Included in the volume are interviews with the playwrights, in which they discuss the creative process of writing and of producing the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNggrfg\u003c\/i\u003e by Berend McKenzie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCassandra\u003c\/i\u003e by Briana Brown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDianne \u0026amp; Me\u003c\/i\u003e by Ron Fromstein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll My Day Jobs\u003c\/i\u003e by Kirsten Van Ritzen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDear Penthouse\u003c\/i\u003e by Collin Doyle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunnyside Café\u003c\/i\u003e by Pam Calabrese Maclean \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anthology will be of particular interest to students and teachers looking for current, challenging scene work for young actors, as well as to actors searching for the perfect solo piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kit Brennan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1897109962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781897109960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Kit Brennan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486225936639,"sku":"9781897109960","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6a8d3a5-6703-4fbb-a8ee-fc0a37e4613c.jpg?v=1778054452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-for-the-road-kit-brennan-9781897109960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
