Jon Jory, the artistic director of Actors Theatre of Louisville, has written this brilliant collection of miniplays which he developed to provide young actors with challenging roles and thematic considerations which would stretch and develop them

"At Actors Theatre," writes Jory, "we believe that these mini-plays demand the same preparation by the actor that a leading role in a full-length play requires

It is this act of preparation which is the crucial learning experience for the young actor"

Set pieces, properties and costumes have been kept at a minimum so that the emphasis can remain on the actor and actress and the acting task

Audiences have responded well to these pieces, which together create an impact strongly communicating the young and complicated world of students
