Script's Tips
Dear actors, advice:
be perfect, precise--
say what the playwright wrote!

Throw in some spice,
some fire and ice,
but please, don't overemote.

Personification of the script, the rehearsal piano, the dressing room mirror and more, these fresh and funny poems prove that all the world's indeed a stage in this unprecedented middle-grade graphic novel.

Back matter includes information on poetic forms and theater terms to further enhance the reading.
