This volume brings together two one-act plays and fourteen scenes from some of Canada's most popular plays, in a wide variety of genres including comedy, drama, children's theatre, and farce. The scenes selected encourage the exploration of time periods form the nineteenth century to modern day, different regions of Canada, and diverse cultural elements in the country. The number of roles in a scene ranges from one to five characters. Writing styles, from realistic to absurd, reveal various life experiences and styles of communication. Background notes and biographies of the playwrights accompany each excerpt.
"Scenes from Canadian plays for two to six actors. Thirty-two excellent opportunities for young thespians... these are texts which I would certainly use with my own senior students of dramatic arts..." -- Reviewing Librarian.
