Publisher's Synopsis
THE ACTORS' CHALLENGE 1.2A 30-minute comedy to showcase comic characterizations and acting stylesThis is an updated version of Bagdasian & Itté's THE ACTORS CHALLENGE (which has already used by over 830 schools around the world.) Fifteen young performers can instantly perform in a wide variety of comedy styles - melodrama, Shakespeare, TV soap-opera, spy movies, Masterpiece Theatre, Star Trek and more! Two girls are surfing new "interactive" remote channels on their TV - every time they change the channel, the scene and acting styles change. The quick switches add to the humor. The actors are tossed new props and costume pieces for each new scene. Almost like "improv" for the performers. Staging is, of course, very simple. Every performance has its own laughs.Great for classroom work or contest use.Age Level: Junior High and High SchoolPlaying Time: 30 minutes or more
