The plays vary in tone from comedic to dramatic and range from realistic to unconventional styles. Lengthy enough to be staged fully yet concise enough for scene work in class, the collection includes works by renowned playwrights like Don Nigro, Richard Vetere, and Jack Gilhooley, alongside emerging talents.

5 MINUTE PLAYS FOR TEENS

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The plays in this volume of 5-Minute Plays for Teens are perfect for production by high schools, in that each play contains only teen characters, and the subject matter will appeal to aspiring young actors, making it easy to connect with the characters and situations.

Some of the plays are comedic, some are dramatic, some are realistic in style, and some are more unconventional. Their length also makes them perfect for scene work in class.

Some are by playwrights well known for their full-length plays, such as the prolific and brilliant Don Nigro, Richard Vetere, and Jack Gilhooley. But most are by exciting up-and-comers, such as Nicole Pandolfo, C. S. Hanson, Catherine Weingarten, L. E. Grabowski-Cotton, Christopher Innvar, and Adrienne Dawes.

5-Minute Plays for Teens is ideal for theatre students, youth groups, and acting classes.
