This book is a much needed tool for drama teachers who could use some short scenes for student acting practice. The 74 scenes cover five varieties of minority theatre: Native-American, Hispanic, African-American, Jewish-American, and Asian-American. Prior to each scene, the editor provides a brief biography of the author, context to help the actors understand what happened previously, and a series of questions relevant to the motivation or comprehension of the scene.
