Varying from two to eleven characters, twenty brief plays offer young actors the opportunity to play different types of roles.

25 10 MINUTE PLAYS FOR TEENS

Real life teen dilemmas written as comedy. These thirty short plays give teenage performers a chance to portray the drama of their everyday lives. They may act crazy, push boundaries and discover themselves as the plays permit them to show off their talents. The actors can create outrageous characters in the context of situations they know so well. Sample titles include: 'The Kissing Booth', 'Four Boyfriends', 'Last Free Summer' and 'The Babysitter'. Inexperienced actors will come alive as performers because they playlets offer natural dialog and believable situations. The plays are for two to six actors. Excellent for contest use.

Contemporary and practice, this edition remains comprehensive enough to ensure that teachers understand today's adolescents and the literature that engages them, while still remaining brief enough to give teachers the opportunity to read the books discussed.
