Almost every actor in New York has worked in one or more of the productions of Plays for Living, a division of the Family Service of America. These productions are original half-hour dramas that illustrate a particular family stress situation: alcoholism, a child’s inability to read, stealing, lying, and the like. The plays are presented to parents’ associations or similar groups in school auditoriums, churches, or meeting halls throughout New York City. . . . While the payment received is minimal, the experience of adjusting to different theaters and audiences is invaluable. Some of the material is excellent for audition scenes.
