Great Scene Book for Acting Class

I teach acting in a Community College and have struggled to find a good, modern scene book for classroom scenes. This is it. The scenes in this book are quite modern, easy to relate to by young actors and, generally, of high quality. This book is also useful for audition scenes and monologues. The other book I would recommend is Duo: Great scenes of the 90's although that text is becoming somewhat dated.
