This book is a sequel to Kluger's Original Audition Scenes for Actors in popular demand for over ten years. It, too, is designed for professional actors seeking roles in TV shows, commercials and stage productions, but may be used by student performers who wish to work at a professional level. Actors have been using these same scenes to win roles at California and New York film and TV studios. The book is divided into two categories of scenes: Comedy and Drama. Garry Michael Kluger is a film and TV actor/writer who has won many television, film and off-Broadway roles using his own audition scenes.

Compiles more than eighty scenes by such modern playwrights as Williams, Slade, Miller, Zindel, and Feiffer for two men, two women, and one man and one woman

These real-life, juvenile dilemmas for children to perform are popular because the actors can portray characters like those they see every day. Sample titles from this collection of 31 scenes include: Picture Day, Love is All You Need, First Kiss, 30 Days to a New Teen, Home Alone, Cookie Dough, Food Fight, Barbie Girl, Texas Size Zit, the Cat Walk, Save the Frogs, and Dreadful Dancing. All situations are believable and easy for timid and eager actors to perform. Ideal for classroom practice or for an evening of entertainment.
