Book of Sides II: 2-Page Original Scenes for Actors and Directors is the second book in the Book of Sides series by Dave Kost, featuring original, two-page, two-character scenes for use in acting, directing, and auditioning classes. While shorter than the traditional 3 to 6 page scenes commonly used in classes, Book of Sides II features longer scenes than the first Book of Sides, with more in-depth character development, more reversals, and stronger climaxes. Refreshing, non-type specific and non-gender specific characters make it easy for instructors to assign scenes to any student, and student actors can easily reverse roles to allow for reinterpretation of the scene. Here you will find scenes that are:

- Two-pages in length, an alternative to the longer scenes in typical scene books, ideal for audition classes and allowing for faster-paced workshops;

- Written in standard film-script format, convenient for cold read exercises;

- Completely original and free of rights issues, allowing students to film and distribute them at will;

- Universally castable, containing roles that are not exclusive to sex, type, quality, or race;

- Written in contemporary language, accessible to modern students and their focus on the fundamental goals of scenework;

- Designed to be performed spontaneously in a classroom, with limited props and without pantomime.

This book was written by an educator for educators, designed for use in the classroom. Never search for scenes again!
