It has been noted, studied, and confirmed that the attention span of the average person is getting shorter and shorter. With all our modern conveniences and technological advances, it's no wonder we insist upon immediate gratification. We have come to expect it. That type of mentality is now upon us in the theater as well. The ten-minute play has become increasingly popular over the years and festivals have sprung up far and wide in order to showcase this format. Short can be just as satisfying, and high school drama departments are the perfect venues for the ten-minute play. Easy and inexpensive to produce, they provide the student actor all the challenges of a full-length play wrapped up in a shorter, more concise package. The twenty short plays in this book range from the typical to the unusual and they offer the young actor not only diversity in both theme and character, but also an opportunity to play over 106 different types of roles. I have written these plays keeping in mind the varied ages and experiences that occur during the teen years. Thus, the characters in this book range in age from thirteen to twenty, allowing teen actors the opportunity to play parts close to themselves as well as being able to stretch their range accordingly. So go put on a play. Or two. Or six. Because they're only ten minutes long, so you'll have the time. And don't forget, it's called a play. Which means you have to have fun, and I hope you do! Enjoy!
