Thirty Short Comedy Plays for Teens: Plays for a Variety of Cast Sizes

Just what a high-school drama student needs instead of the garbage their decadent teacher likely provides.

I've used this book for scene material in classes, and found that the students enjoy the material. However, don't be fooled by the title. These are not plays, but brief, unrelated scenes. Suitable for presentation in a showcase, but not for performances.

My kids love it. Plays are funny enough, though abit too "American" in playing up the bad habits of teenagers into a comedy. Not too subtle for young minds. Arrival prompt and in good condition.

I bought these to use with my first-year drama students! They are a great resource for quick-to-memorize scenes! Highly recommended for students who are just exploring their dramatic side!

I found this little book most useful with my teenage drama group. I had to make some slight alterations to make the material less American, but found the variety of cast sizes, play lengths and story lines worked well for our group where the age range is 10 to 14. Putting two or three together provided an evening of entertaiment for the parents and because permission to perform and copy was included, it saved us a lot of time and money.

A few good ideas, but a lots of plays that use a very limited number of characters, making it useless for groupwork

Some great plays my students are enjoying them.
