Eleven-to fourteen-year olds love making theater. But they demand dramatic material that honestly captures who they are-newly emerging individuals, struggling with school, friends and parents, eager to explore and find a place in the great big world. Written by a nationally award-winning playwright of theater for family audiences, this new collection offers the drama teacher and student: Monologues with strong emotional turning points. Two- and four-actor scenes with strong relationships, specific objectives. Multiple-actor scenes, drawn from multicultural sources, in which the roles have relatively equal weight.
