How to Rehearse a Scene: Progressive Exercises to Enhance Scene Work provides detailed exercises and assignments that will imaginatively and artistically enhance an actor’s scene process work from start to finish.

This book offers original and traditional scene exercises for use in rehearsal and in the classroom. From an actor’s first read-through of the play working alone to rehearsals with a scene partner, the structure of each exercise and assignment becomes “the teacher in the room,” detailing what the actor can do to make specific and personal discoveries that will continually empower them to grow throughout their scene process work. The book is divided into progressive sections with thorough exercise instructions. The book also includes scene partner etiquette, a suggested rehearsal schedule, tips for teaching the material, and reflections highlighting the author’s personal and professional experiences that relate to the exercises and the work of being an artist.

This book is written for students in acting courses, professional actors, and teachers of acting. It will also be of interest and assistance to directors.
