Synopsis

This book is a captivating collection of original monologues and dialogues written expressly for performance by young people and designed to develop their thespian skills. At the same time, each piece is a dramatic miniature in its own right, providing young readers a deep dive into the joys and challenges of youth. The author, an experienced playwright, presents seventeen standalone pieces that cover a range of scenarios, settings, and moods, from the humorous to the heart-wrenching. Along with developing their stagecraft, young performers will come to appreciate the complexities of the human condition as they explore themes of love, loss, ambition, betrayal, and the search for identity. The monologues and dialogues offer variety in terms of length, style, and tone, such that they can flexibly accommodate novice and experienced performers alike and are readily adaptable to fit the needs of any theater program or classroom setting. Equipping young people with tools and inspiration to succeed in the spotlight, this book is a valuable resource for drama teachers and a sure-fire crowd-pleaser for young thespians.
