About the Author

Happy Jack Feder was named at birth after one of Snow White's seven dwarfs. He lives with his wife and two daughters on the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains in Montana, a few miles from where the 1904 Fort Shaw Indian girls basketball team trained and lived and where he enjoys the magic of the Montana land, history, people, and even the wind. He and his family occasionally perform on stage with their juggling act, The Exploding Nuclear Family Jugglers.

Editorial Reviews

YA-- Feder devotes the first section of the book to basics: props, staging, make-up, and rehearsal. This is followed by 20 ``performance-tested'' solo mime routines. Sketches for two or more performers make up the final pages. The routines are usually comic, but there is a smattering of the tragic and frightening. An annotated table of contents enhances their accessibility. A handy volume for students and teachers.
