Plays for Young Audiences

Winner of the AATE Charlotte B. Chorpenning Playwright Award for a nationally significant body of work for young audiences

Many consider Max Bush to be the fountainhead of the renaissance in playwriting for young audiences

His sensitivity to current themes and the modern idiom infuses a contemporary appeal into all of his works

The ten full-length plays in this Collection are adaptations of classics, heroic fantasy adventures, and dramas

They’ve all been successfully produced by community, educational, and professional theatre companies, and many of them are recipients of prestigious regional and national awards

Ghost of the River House

Hansel and Gretel – The Little Brother and the Little Sister

The Emerald Circle

Puss in Boots

13 Bells of Boglewood
